What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body fat percentage — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:26833246)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body fat percentage. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:26833246)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body fat percentage compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:26833246)
