Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model)

RSPO3 · rs1892172

Where this position leads

Condition: Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution)

What the study found

Who was studied up to 130,976 European ancestry men, up to 164,238 African American, South Asian, East Asian and Hispanic ancestry men; replicated in up to 62,500 European ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0184 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.024); p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — a synonymous change in RSPO3.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model) compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model).

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1892172

What is rs1892172?

rs1892172 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RSPO3 gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi (additive genetic model). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1892172 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1892172 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 rs1892172 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30778226. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
