Where this position leads
Condition: Hip Circumference
What the study found
Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0243 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.031); p = 1 × 10−12.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of LINC02571.
rs28367657 is a single position in the genome, in or near the XXbac-BPG248L24.13 gene. Published research associates it with hip circumference adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hip Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
