What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Obesity-related traits compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:23251661)
A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Obesity-related traits. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:23251661)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Obesity-related traits — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:23251661)

Questions about rs2823615

What is rs2823615?

rs2823615 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C21orf34 gene. Published research associates it with obesity-related traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2823615 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 rs2823615 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:23251661. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
