Who was studied 374,756 European ancestry male individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0147 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.018); p = 5 × 10−18.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q21.3 — between genes, 2.9 kb from MDGA2.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4900715
What is rs4900715?
rs4900715 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MDGA2 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 rs4900715 linked to?
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.
Does having rs4900715 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 rs4900715 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
