NCKIPSD · rs9821797

What the study found

Who was studied 16,992 European ancestry cases, 55,525 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.17 times the odds of Anorexia nervosa (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.21); p = 7 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of NCKIPSD.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9821797

What is rs9821797?

rs9821797 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NCKIPSD gene. Published research associates it with anorexia nervosa. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9821797 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 rs9821797 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GWAS Catalog n.d., PMID:31308545. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
