Your DNA file reports your genotype at rs17782313 — a marker in the MC4R gene that studies link to body weight / appetite (mc4r). Here's what each genotype is associated with:
| Genotype | What it's associated with |
|---|---|
| CC | Two higher-weight (C) alleles — a modest tendency toward higher body weight via appetite regulation. Lifestyle-responsive; not a diagnosis. |
| CT | One higher-weight (C) allele — a small tendency toward higher appetite/body weight. Modifiable by lifestyle. Informational. |
| TT | Common genotype near MC4R — average genetic contribution to body weight. |
