What the study found

Who was studied 360,116 European ancestry individuals, 165,419 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0161 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p11.22 — between genes, 70.8 kb from LINC00838.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs71495039

What is rs71495039?

rs71495039 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00838 gene. Published research associates it with weight. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs71495039 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 rs71495039 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 rs71495039 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
