Where this position leads
Condition: Obesity and Body Weight
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.
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−12, with 5 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
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 22,762 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,522 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,431 Chinese, Malay and Asian Indian ancestry individuals; replicated in 53,215 East Asian ancestry results, 2,118 Malay ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 3.39 % higher (95% confidence interval 1.90-4.88); p = 2 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

What people read about alongside this
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
