Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 43,776 European ancestry men aged <50, up to 50,526 European ancestry women aged <50, up to 69,944 European ancestry men aged >50, up to 88,129 European ancestry women aged >50.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.22 — inside MMP24-AS1-EDEM2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI x sex x age interaction (4df test) compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI x sex x age interaction (4df test).

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI x sex x age interaction (4df test) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6088735

What is rs6088735?

rs6088735 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UQCC gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi x sex x age interaction (4df test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6088735 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6088735 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 rs6088735 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
