What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population.

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.
