What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Adiposity — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19557161)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Adiposity. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19557161)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Adiposity compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19557161)

Questions about rs987237

What is rs987237?

rs987237 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TFAP2B gene. Published research associates it with adiposity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs987237 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs987237?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include weight-loss medicines (3 papers), exercise and muscle (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs987237 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 rs987237 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19557161. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
