Visceral adipose tissue volumes to abdominal adipose tissue volumes ratio

RPS3AP50 · rs55865721

What the study found

Who was studied 38,965 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry, African ancestry, NR ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.095 higher (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.12); p = 5 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.11 — in a non-coding transcript of RPS3AP50.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes to abdominal adipose tissue volumes ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes to abdominal adipose tissue volumes ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Visceral adipose tissue volumes to abdominal adipose tissue volumes ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55865721

What is rs55865721?

rs55865721 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RPS3AP50 gene. Published research associates it with visceral adipose tissue volumes to abdominal adipose tissue volumes ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55865721 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 rs55865721 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35773277. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
