Who was studied 55,006 British ancestry males, 61,132 British ancestry females; replicated in 112,425 British ancestry males, 133,936 British ancestry females.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0176 lower; p = 2 × 10−14.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p21.1 — in an intron of ITGB8.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Body fat distribution (trunk fat ratio). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Body fat distribution (trunk fat ratio). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Body fat distribution (trunk fat ratio). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3823974
What is rs3823974?
rs3823974 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITGB8 gene. Published research associates it with body fat distribution (trunk fat ratio). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs3823974 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 rs3823974 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 rs3823974 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:30664634. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
