Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 435,563 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.6 z score higher; p = 4 × 10−11.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q12.2 — in an intron of FTO.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Problematic alcohol use. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Problematic alcohol use. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Problematic alcohol use. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9937709
What is rs9937709?
rs9937709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FTO gene. Published research associates it with problematic alcohol use. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs9937709 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 rs9937709 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature neuroscience 2020, PMID:32451486. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
