Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 6,259 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,483 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.185 lower (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.22); p = 7 × 10−24.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.3 — in an intron of GHRLOS.
rs55821288 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GHRLOS gene. Published research associates it with ghrelin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
