LINC01122 · rs7592270

What the study found

Who was studied 2,294 White British ancestry female individuals, 2,109 White British ancestry male individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 402 g higher; p = 8 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — in an intron of LINC01122.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Android fat mass. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Android fat mass. That is a smaller link than two copies.

Questions about rs7592270

What is rs7592270?

rs7592270 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01122 gene. Published research associates it with android fat mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7592270 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 rs7592270 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in endocrinology 2021, PMID:34239500. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
