What the study found

Who was studied 697,734 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0118 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0083-0.0153); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p12.2 — between genes, 150.9 kb from CYP51A1P1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6548834

What is rs6548834?

rs6548834 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CYP51A1P1 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6548834 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6548834 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 rs6548834 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.
