What the study found

Who was studied up to 157,516 European ancestry women, up to 180,131 African American, South Asian, East Asian and Hispanic ancestry women; replicated in up to 62,368 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0255 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.035); p = 8 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — a missense change in MLXIPL.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (additive genetic model) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs35332062

What is rs35332062?

rs35332062 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MLXIPL gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi (additive genetic model). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs35332062 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs35332062 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 rs35332062 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30778226. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
