Who was studied 650,000 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0161 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.02); p = 1 × 10−18.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 61% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in an intron of IGF2BP1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs4794018 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGF2BP1 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.
What conditions is rs4794018 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index, Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4794018 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 rs4794018 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39375568. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
