Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
Strength of the evidence
2 / 4
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−26, with 4 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 119,284 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,954 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,419 East Asian ancestry individuals, 425,541 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0391 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.046); p = 5 × 10−27.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.3 — in an intron of GNA12.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Weight (maximum, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Weight (maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Weight (maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs798488
What is rs798488?
rs798488 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNA12 gene. Published research associates it with weight (maximum, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs798488 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 rs798488 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.
