Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI

RNA5SP362 · rs11176019

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.029 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.035); p = 3 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q14.3 — between genes, 7.9 kb from RNA5SP362.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11176019

What is rs11176019?

rs11176019 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNA5SP362 gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11176019 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 rs11176019 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.
