Where this position leads

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6715793

What is rs6715793?

rs6715793 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LTBP1 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6715793 linked to?

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

Does having rs6715793 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 rs6715793 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2015, PMID:25673412. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
