Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs9356744
What is rs9356744?
rs9356744 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDKAL1 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 rs9356744 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.
What do people read about alongside rs9356744?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (3 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs9356744 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 rs9356744 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22344219. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
