near LINC01893 · rs1507462

What the study found

Who was studied 28,900 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 7,912 European ancestry individuals, 5,699 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.054 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.069); p = 4 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q23 — between genes, 229.9 kb from LINC01893.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hip bone size. 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 Hip bone size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hip bone size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1507462

What is rs1507462?

rs1507462 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01893 gene. Published research associates it with hip bone size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1507462 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 rs1507462 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31053729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
