Where this position leads

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Birth weight compared to the general population.

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

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Birth weight — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2242116

What is rs2242116?

rs2242116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTH1R gene. Published research associates it with birth 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 rs2242116 linked to?

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

Does having rs2242116 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 rs2242116 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2016, PMID:27680694. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
