near GYG1P2 · rs924940703

What the study found

Who was studied 2,241 Sub-Saharan African ancestry women; replicated in 1,129 African American women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.338 lower (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.44); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q31.1 — between genes, 220.4 kb from GYG1P2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs924940703

What is rs924940703?

rs924940703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GYG1P2 gene. Published research associates it with ghrelin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs924940703 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 rs924940703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2021, PMID:34620218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
