Body size at age 10

TLR4 · rs957512

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0103 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0074-0.0133); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.1 — between genes, 41.8 kb from RPL35AP22.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs957512

What is rs957512?

rs957512 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TLR4 gene. Published research associates it with body size at age 10. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs957512 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 rs957512 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
