What the study found

Who was studied 8,613 European ancestry cases, 3,213 African American cases, 69 Moroccan ancestry cases, 986 Hispanic/Latino cases, 124 East Asian ancestry cases, 12,696 European ancestry controls, 1,392 African American controls, 64 Moroccan ancestry controls, 993 Hispanic/Latino controls, 454 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.239 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.32); p = 5 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of GAS8.

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 rs74583214

What is rs74583214?

rs74583214 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GAS8 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 rs74583214 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 rs74583214 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 rs74583214 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.
