What the study found

Who was studied 1,249 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, 3,559 whole genome sequenced individuals, 46,819 European ancestry individuals, 472 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,172 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,051 Mylopotamos (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 942 Pomak (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,779 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 179,022 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0483 lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.061); p = 1 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q23 — in an intron of ZBTB38.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Weight — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Weight.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Weight compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7624084

What is rs7624084?

rs7624084 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZBTB38 gene. Published research associates it with weight. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7624084 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 rs7624084 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 rs7624084 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2017, PMID:28552196. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
