Who was studied up to 157,516 European ancestry women, up to 180,131 African American, South Asian, East Asian and Hispanic ancestry women; replicated in up to 62,368 European ancestry women.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0206 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.027); p = 3 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.1 — a missense change in DAGLB.
What each result means
C/CPublished 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.
C/TPublished 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).
T/TPublished 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 rs2303361
What is rs2303361?
rs2303361 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DAGLB 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 rs2303361 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 rs2303361 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 rs2303361 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.
