What the study found

Who was studied 169,600 European ancestry cases, 244,254 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0454 higher (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.056); p = 4 × 10−22.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — in an intron of C12orf42.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Obesity (PheCode 278.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Obesity (PheCode 278.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Obesity (PheCode 278.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7969447

What is rs7969447?

rs7969447 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C12orf42 gene. Published research associates it with obesity (phecode 278.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7969447 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.

Does having rs7969447 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 rs7969447 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.
