near SMIM30 · rs7788008

What the study found

Who was studied 283,749 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0934 lower (95% confidence interval 0.069-0.118); p = 1 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.1 — between genes, 213.8 kb from SMIM30.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to BMI (standard GWA). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to BMI (standard GWA). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to BMI (standard GWA). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7788008

What is rs7788008?

rs7788008 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SMIM30 gene. Published research associates it with bmi (standard gwa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7788008 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 rs7788008 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2023, PMID:37106081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
