Whole body fat mass (UKB data field 23100)

NEGR1 · rs34940719

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−13, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 337,196 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0221 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.028); p = 5 × 10−14.

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 Whole body fat mass (UKB data field 23100). 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 Whole body fat mass (UKB data field 23100). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Whole body fat mass (UKB data field 23100). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34940719

What is rs34940719?

rs34940719 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with whole body fat mass (ukb data field 23100). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34940719 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 rs34940719 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2024, PMID:38538606. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
