Adult body size

PARK2 · rs36007635

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0137 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0098-0.0176); p = 6 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q26 — in an intron of PRKN.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs36007635

What is rs36007635?

rs36007635 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PARK2 gene. Published research associates it with adult body size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs36007635 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 rs36007635 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
