What the study found

Who was studied 441,761 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.025 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.032); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 8 kb from HLA-DOA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73409691

What is rs73409691?

rs73409691 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DOA gene. Published research associates it with childhood 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 rs73409691 linked to?

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

Does having rs73409691 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 rs73409691 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetologia 2023, PMID:37280435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
