FAM231B · rs78886584

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00849 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0058-0.0112); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.13 — in an intron of LINC01783.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Adult body size. 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 Adult body size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs78886584

What is rs78886584?

rs78886584 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM231B gene. Published research associates it with adult body size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78886584 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 rs78886584 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
