Questions about rs6792696

What is rs6792696?

rs6792696 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GBE1 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 rs6792696 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.

Does having rs6792696 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 rs6792696 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
