What the study found

Who was studied 37,641 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry, African ancestry, NR ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.06 lower (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.076); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — between genes, 14.8 kb from EBF2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes (adjusted for BMI and height). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes (adjusted for BMI and height). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes (adjusted for BMI and height). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4872393

What is rs4872393?

rs4872393 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EBF2 gene. Published research associates it with visceral adipose tissue volumes (adjusted for bmi and height). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4872393 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Height. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4872393 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 rs4872393 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35773277. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
