Body mass index (BMI, maximum, inv-normal transformed)

near FHIT · rs77601096

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−16, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 118,995 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,796 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,384 East Asian ancestry individuals, 424,231 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.044 higher (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.054); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.2 — between genes, 14.1 kb from FHIT.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index (BMI, maximum, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index (BMI, maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index (BMI, maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs77601096

What is rs77601096?

rs77601096 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FHIT gene. Published research associates it with body mass index (bmi, maximum, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77601096 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 rs77601096 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
