Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 38,580 European ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 102,064 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.04 z-score unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.05); p = 9 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of MSRA-DT.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Adiposity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Adiposity. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Adiposity. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7826222

What is rs7826222?

rs7826222 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSRA gene. Published research associates it with adiposity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7826222 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.

What do people read about alongside rs7826222?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs7826222 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 rs7826222 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19557161. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
