RP11-616M22.7 · rs28625102

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0201 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in a regulatory region of UBE2I.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-hip index compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-hip index.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-hip index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs28625102

What is rs28625102?

rs28625102 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-616M22.7 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28625102 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 rs28625102 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2021, PMID:34021172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
