What the study found

Who was studied up to 51,625 European ancestry men aged <50, up to 60,654 European ancestry women aged <50, up to 90,988 European ancestry men aged >50, up to 106,622 European ancestry women aged >50.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 83% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in an intron of NEGR1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index x sex x age interaction (4df test). 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 Body mass index x sex x age interaction (4df test). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index x sex x age interaction (4df test). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2821248

What is rs2821248?

rs2821248 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index x sex x age interaction (4df test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2821248 linked to?

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

Does having rs2821248 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 rs2821248 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
