Who was studied 650,000 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0131 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.0168); p = 2 × 10−12.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of LINC01118.
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.
rs4952843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01118 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 rs4952843 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 rs4952843 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 rs4952843 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.
