Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI

TSHZ2 · rs62206548

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0236 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.031); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.2 — in an intron of TSHZ2.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/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.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI compared to the general population.

Questions about rs62206548

What is rs62206548?

rs62206548 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TSHZ2 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 rs62206548 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 rs62206548 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.
