near FGF21 · rs62132801

What the study found

Who was studied 282,271 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.204 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.28); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.33 — between genes, 6.3 kb from FGF21.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Relative fat intake. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Relative fat intake. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Relative fat intake. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62132801

What is rs62132801?

rs62132801 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FGF21 gene. Published research associates it with relative fat intake. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62132801 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 rs62132801 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2022, PMID:34426670. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
