Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI

COL4A1 · rs552125

What the study found

Who was studied 379,501 European ancestry female individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.018 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.023); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of COL4A1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs552125

What is rs552125?

rs552125 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL4A1 gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs552125 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 rs552125 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
