Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 1,254 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, 3,072 whole genome sequenced individuals, 41,450 European ancestry individuals, 397 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 791 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,060 Mylopotamos (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 887 Pomak (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,754 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 206,737 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0642 lower (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.084); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.3 — in an intron of IQCK.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist circumference compared to the general population.

A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist circumference.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist circumference — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4782285

What is rs4782285?

rs4782285 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IQCK gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4782285 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 rs4782285 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 rs4782285 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2017, PMID:28552196. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
