What the study found

Who was studied 291,107 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.269 higher (95% confidence interval 0.21-0.33); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — in an intron of IPO9.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2678204

What is rs2678204?

rs2678204 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IPO9 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2678204 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2678204 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 rs2678204 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolic syndrome and related disorders 2020, PMID:31928498. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
