Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 82,438 East Asian ancestry individuals, 4,301 South East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 47,352 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.058 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.071); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q25.2 — between genes, 19.9 kb from SEC16B.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/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 rs574367

What is rs574367?

rs574367 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SEC16B 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 rs574367 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs574367?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), exercise and muscle (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs574367 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 rs574367 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2014, PMID:24861553. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
