What the study found

Who was studied 1,122,049 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0142 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.018); p = 1 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q22.1 — between genes, 43.7 kb from CDH7.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7235205

What is rs7235205?

rs7235205 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CDH7 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 rs7235205 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index, Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7235205 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 rs7235205 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36581621. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
