Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 93,015 European ancestry overweight individuals, 32,858 European ancestry class I obese individuals, 9,889 European ancestry class II obese individuals, 2,896 European ancestry class III obese individuals, up to 65,840 European ancestry controls; replicated in 65,332 European ancestry overweight individuals, 22,373 European ancestry class I obese individuals, 5,476 European ancestry class II obese individuals, 1,162 European ancestry class III obese individuals, up to 39,294 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Obesity; p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁷.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in an intron of LOC105378797.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Obesity. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Obesity. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Obesity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7531118

What is rs7531118?

rs7531118 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs7531118 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 rs7531118 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 rs7531118 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23563607. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
