Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 72,390 Japanese ancestry women, up to 85,894 Japanese ancestry men; replicated in up to 10,048 Japanese ancestry women, up to 5,098 Japanese ancestry men, up to 181,999 European ancestry women, up to 140,155 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.023 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.031); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p35.3 — between genes, 4.8 kb from LOC729973.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2076463

What is rs2076463?

rs2076463 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFI6 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2076463 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 rs2076463 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 rs2076463 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28892062. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
