What the study found

Who was studied 360,116 European ancestry individuals, 165,419 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0121 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0084-0.0158); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q29 — in an intron of XXYLT1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Weight compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Weight.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Weight — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4677813

What is rs4677813?

rs4677813 is a single position in the genome, in or near the XXYLT1 gene. Published research associates it with weight. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4677813 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 rs4677813 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 rs4677813 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
