Gluteofemoral adipose tissue volumes

near RNU1-61P · rs115250958

What the study found

Who was studied 38,965 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry, African ancestry, NR ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.068 lower (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.092); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 7.9 kb from RNU1-61P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs115250958

What is rs115250958?

rs115250958 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU1-61P gene. Published research associates it with gluteofemoral adipose tissue volumes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs115250958 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 rs115250958 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35773277. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
