Body shape phenotype PC2

near GUSBP5 · rs116338131

What the study found

Who was studied 460,198 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0467 lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.057); p = 1 × 10−17.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 96% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.21 — between genes, 92.5 kb from GUSBP5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs116338131

What is rs116338131?

rs116338131 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GUSBP5 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 rs116338131 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 rs116338131 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.
