Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 806,834 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0152 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 9 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.31 — in an intron of LOC105376146.

What each result means

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

C/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 (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.

Questions about rs3811125

What is rs3811125?

rs3811125 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFIL3 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 rs3811125 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 rs3811125 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 rs3811125 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
