BMI-adjusted waist-hip ratio

INSR · rs1799816

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 458,317 European ancestry individuals, 138,792 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 8,948 African ancestry individuals, 2,203 East Asian ancestry individuals, 10,115 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.07 lower (95% confidence interval -0.09--0.05); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — a missense change in INSR.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to BMI-adjusted waist-hip ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to BMI-adjusted waist-hip ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to BMI-adjusted waist-hip ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1799816

What is rs1799816?

rs1799816 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INSR gene. Published research associates it with bmi-adjusted waist-hip ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1799816 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 rs1799816 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35999217. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
