What the study found

Who was studied 650,000 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0127 lower (95% confidence interval 0.009-0.0164); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.1 — between genes, 102.8 kb from CTAGE16P.

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

Questions about rs9538149

What is rs9538149?

rs9538149 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CTAGE16P 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 rs9538149 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9538149 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 rs9538149 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39375568. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
