Waist-hip index

ADAMTS9 · rs11718560

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0213 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.028); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.1 — in an intron of ADAMTS9.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11718560

What is rs11718560?

rs11718560 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAMTS9 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11718560 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 rs11718560 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.
