LINC00610 · rs56386213

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.018 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.024); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p13 — inside COMMD9.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-hip index — 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-hip index.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-hip index compared to the general population.

Questions about rs56386213

What is rs56386213?

rs56386213 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00610 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56386213 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 rs56386213 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2021, PMID:34021172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
