What the study found

Who was studied up to 182,902 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0269 lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.034); p = 8 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q23.33 — between genes, 22.4 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Birth weight (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Birth weight (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Birth weight (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2497304

What is rs2497304?

rs2497304 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near Y_RNA gene. Published research associates it with birth weight (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2497304 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 rs2497304 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 rs2497304 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in genetics 2019, PMID:31681408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
