Accelerometer-based physical activity measurement (average acceleration)

LINC01470 · rs62398709

What the study found

Who was studied 91,084 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.24 milli-gravities higher; p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 65% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — in an intron of LINC01470.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Accelerometer-based physical activity measurement (average acceleration). 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 Accelerometer-based physical activity measurement (average acceleration). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Accelerometer-based physical activity measurement (average acceleration). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62398709

What is rs62398709?

rs62398709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01470 gene. Published research associates it with accelerometer-based physical activity measurement (average acceleration). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62398709 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 rs62398709 come from?

GWAS Catalog, International journal of obesity (2005) 2018, PMID:29899525. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
