What the study found

Who was studied 165,419 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0604 higher (95% confidence interval 0.053-0.068); p = 2 × 10−51.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of SMIM29-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Weight. 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 Weight. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Weight. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4713762

What is rs4713762?

rs4713762 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMIM29-AS1 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 rs4713762 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 rs4713762 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 rs4713762 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.
