Abdominal size (multivariate analysis)

C19orf47 · rs11668242

What the study found

Who was studied 176,820 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0207 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.028); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — in an intron of C19orf47.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Abdominal size (multivariate analysis). 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 Abdominal size (multivariate analysis). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Abdominal size (multivariate analysis). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11668242

What is rs11668242?

rs11668242 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C19orf47 gene. Published research associates it with abdominal size (multivariate analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11668242 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 rs11668242 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40796553. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
