Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 449,889 European ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 192,226 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0329 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.041); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁵.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — a missense change in HIP1R.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs34149579

What is rs34149579?

rs34149579 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HIP1R 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 rs34149579 linked to?

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

Does having rs34149579 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 rs34149579 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29273807. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
