What the study found

Who was studied 697,734 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0214 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.026); p = 8 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 83% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q16.3 — between genes, 25.6 kb from PRDX2P4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2503099

What is rs2503099?

rs2503099 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MCHR2 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2503099 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 rs2503099 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 rs2503099 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
