PLCL1 · rs34608683

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 3 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0191 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.025); p = 4 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.1 — in an intron of PLCL1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34608683

What is rs34608683?

rs34608683 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLCL1 gene. Published research associates it with a body shape index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34608683 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 rs34608683 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.
