near NFAT5 · rs4783722
Where this position leads
Condition: Childhood Body Mass Index
What the study found
Who was studied 342,566 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0233 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.028); p = 2 × 10−21.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.1 — between genes, 17.1 kb from NFAT5.
rs4783722 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NFAT5 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
