What the study found

Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0197 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.026); p = 9 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of TNKS.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. 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 adjusted for body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

rs35169606 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNKS gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs35169606 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 rs35169606 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.
