NR5A2 · rs2816985

What the study found

Who was studied 14,064 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0592 lower (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.077); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — in an intron of NR5A2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to BMI at 3 months old. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to BMI at 3 months old. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to BMI at 3 months old. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2816985

What is rs2816985?

rs2816985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NR5A2 gene. Published research associates it with bmi at 3 months old. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2816985 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 rs2816985 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature metabolism 2022, PMID:35315439. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
