Questions about rs272869

What is rs272869?

rs272869 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC22A4 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs272869 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 rs272869 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2015, PMID:25673412. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
