What the study found

Who was studied 374,756 European ancestry male individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0259 higher (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.03); p = 3 × 10−40.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of ILRUN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2814998

What is rs2814998?

rs2814998 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ILRUN 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 rs2814998 linked to?

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

Does having rs2814998 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 rs2814998 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
