Where this position leads

Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Childhood obesity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Childhood obesity. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Childhood obesity. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6567160

What is rs6567160?

rs6567160 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MC4R gene. Published research associates it with childhood obesity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6567160 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 rs6567160?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (4 papers), exercise and muscle (2 papers), alcohol and the flush (1 papers), weight-loss medicines (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 rs6567160 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 rs6567160 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2019, PMID:31504550. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
