Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 460,198 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0246 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.031); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — between genes, 23.5 kb from TMEM270.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body shape phenotype PC2 — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body shape phenotype PC2.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body shape phenotype PC2 compared to the general population.

Questions about rs113946216

What is rs113946216?

rs113946216 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM270 gene. Published research associates it with body shape phenotype pc2. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs113946216 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 rs113946216 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2024, PMID:38640244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
