What the study found

Who was studied 19,900 British ancestry individuals from 6863 families..

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.06 kg/m2 lower (95% confidence interval 0.7-1.42); p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.3 — between genes, 11.1 kb from TCERG1P2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs571835655

What is rs571835655?

rs571835655 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TCERG1P2 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 rs571835655 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index, Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs571835655 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 rs571835655 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2017, PMID:28270201. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
