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 0.053 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.071); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — in an intron of FST.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Abdominal 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 Abdominal 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 Abdominal 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 rs55744247

What is rs55744247?

rs55744247 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FST gene. Published research associates it with abdominal 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 rs55744247 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 rs55744247 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 rs55744247 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.
