What the study found

Who was studied up to 309,889 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0193 lower (95% confidence interval -); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.1 — in an intron of ADPGK-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index. 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 Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8027181

What is rs8027181?

rs8027181 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ADPGK gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8027181 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 rs8027181 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 rs8027181 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
