CTBP2 · rs4962725

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00997 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0072-0.0127); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of CTBP2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4962725

What is rs4962725?

rs4962725 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTBP2 gene. Published research associates it with adult body size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4962725 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 rs4962725 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
