Leptin levels in lean individuals

near SEPTIN14P21 · rs34865977

What the study found

Who was studied 1,582 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals; replicated in 606 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.369 lower (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.47); p = 8 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q43 — between genes, 105 kb from SEPTIN14P21.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Leptin levels in lean individuals. 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 Leptin levels in lean individuals. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Leptin levels in lean individuals. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34865977

What is rs34865977?

rs34865977 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SEPTIN14P21 gene. Published research associates it with leptin levels in lean individuals. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34865977 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 rs34865977 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2021, PMID:34620218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
