CTD-2383I20.1 · rs1493463

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0184 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.024); p = 8 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.33 — between genes, 53 kb from LINC02063.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1493463

What is rs1493463?

rs1493463 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTD-2383I20.1 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 rs1493463 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 rs1493463 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.
