Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction)

MSC · rs12679556

Where this position leads

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12679556

What is rs12679556?

rs12679556 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSC gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12679556 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 rs12679556 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 rs12679556 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28443625. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
