What the study found

Who was studied 806,834 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0217 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.026); p = 3 × 10−19.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — in the 5′ untranslated region of ZBTB7A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two 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.

Questions about rs56356382

What is rs56356382?

rs56356382 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZBTB7A 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 rs56356382 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution), Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs56356382 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 rs56356382 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
