Condition: Metabolic Syndrome

rs7964157 Condition: Metabolic Syndrome Metabolic Syndrome Condition rs7964157 rs7964157 KSR2

What the study found

Who was studied 477 Sub-Saharan African ancestry cases, 591 Sub-Saharan African ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.52 times the odds of Metabolic syndrome (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.75); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.22 — in an intron of KSR2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Metabolic syndrome — 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 Metabolic syndrome.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Metabolic syndrome compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7964157

What is rs7964157?

rs7964157 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KSR2 gene. Published research associates it with metabolic syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7964157 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Metabolic Syndrome. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7964157 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 rs7964157 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular genetics and metabolism 2015, PMID:26507551. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
