What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0168 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.021); p = 5 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of ABHD17C.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Weight. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Weight. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Weight. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2062316

What is rs2062316?

rs2062316 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABHD17C gene. Published research associates it with weight. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2062316 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2062316 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2062316 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
