LINC00923 · rs9920385

What the study found

Who was studied 694,649 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0106 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0072-0.014); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.2 — in an intron of LINC00923.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9920385

What is rs9920385?

rs9920385 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00923 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9920385 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 rs9920385 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36376304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
