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:

GenotypeWhat it's associated with
CCTwo higher-weight (C) alleles — a modest tendency toward higher body weight via appetite regulation. Lifestyle-responsive; not a diagnosis.
CTOne higher-weight (C) allele — a small tendency toward higher appetite/body weight. Modifiable by lifestyle. Informational.
TTCommon genotype near MC4R — average genetic contribution to body weight.

Educational only — not medical or diagnostic advice. A single marker is one of many factors; strand orientation varies between files. Always consult a qualified clinician about your health.
