What the study found

Who was studied 509,429 European ancestry individuals, 16,962 East Asian, South Asian, Hispanic and African American ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−33.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.2 — in an intron of ETV5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index and HDL-C (pairwise). 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 Body mass index and HDL-C (pairwise). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index and HDL-C (pairwise). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4234589

What is rs4234589?

rs4234589 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ETV5 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index and hdl-c (pairwise). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4234589 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 rs4234589 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 rs4234589 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Metab 2021, PMID:33619380. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
