Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 37,956 African American individuals, 1,188 Nigerian ancestry individuals; replicated in 27,661 African America/Afro-Caribbean individuals, 4,607 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals, 123,706 European ancestry inidividuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.051 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.067); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p12 — between genes, 140.8 kb from THAP12P9.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G 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 rs348495

What is rs348495?

rs348495 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNPDA2 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 rs348495 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 rs348495 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 rs348495 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23583978. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
