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 55,006 British ancestry males, 61,132 British ancestry females; replicated in 112,425 British ancestry males, 133,936 British ancestry females.
The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−9.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of RBM6.
rs1986599 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RBM6 gene. Published research associates it with body fat distribution (arm fat ratio). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
