The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0793 higher (95% confidence interval 0.056-0.102); p = 2 × 10−11.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — in a non-coding transcript of VPS37B.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs118162845
What is rs118162845?
rs118162845 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VPS37B gene. Published research associates it with hip circumference adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs118162845 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hip Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs118162845 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 rs118162845 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.
