L3MBTL3 · rs10499172

What the study found

Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0196 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.027); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.1 — in an intron of L3MBTL3.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to A body shape index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to A body shape index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to A body shape index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10499172

What is rs10499172?

rs10499172 is a single position in the genome, in or near the L3MBTL3 gene. Published research associates it with a body shape index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10499172 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 rs10499172 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2021, PMID:34021172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
