What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.047 higher (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.055); p = 1 × 10−33.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — between genes, 8.6 kb from KRT18P9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1187126

What is rs1187126?

rs1187126 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KRT18P9 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1187126 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1187126 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 rs1187126 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.
