A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7607490
What is rs7607490?
rs7607490 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TRIB2 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 rs7607490 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 rs7607490 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 rs7607490 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
