rs1137101

rs1137101 is a genetic variant on gene LEPR associated with Obesity due to leptin receptor gene deficiency and Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia.

This variant is located on chromosome 1. The variations at position 65592830 are the genetic letters A/A, G/G, A/G

Since humans have each twice (one from each parent), these letter-variations occur on both chromosomes. People can have the same or different letters on both chromosomes. Every person's individual variation combination is referred to as genotype. For variant rs1137101 there are 3 currently known genotypes : A/A, G/G or A/G

The different genotypes of variant rs1137101 can affect the likelyhood of developing certain traits or conditions. Current research shows that 2 conditions and 0 traits are associated with rs1137101. The following table shows the relationship between genotypes and conditions and traits.

The genetic variant rs1137101 impacts how certain medications work in the body. This difference may cause some of us to require different dosage amounts to achieve the desired effects, while others might experience more apparent side-effects. As a result, healthcare providers may need to adjust prescriptions for those individuals with rs1137101. Ultimately, understanding our genetic makeup helps improve the overall effectiveness and usability of medications. Tailoring treatments based on genetics ensures a safer, more personalized healthcare experience.
