Hip shape mode 6

AKR1C2 · rs68057779

What the study found

Who was studied 38,175 European ancestry individuals, 5,310 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.07 higher (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.09); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p15.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of AKR1C2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hip shape mode 6. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hip shape mode 6. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Hip shape mode 6. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs68057779

What is rs68057779?

rs68057779 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AKR1C2 gene. Published research associates it with hip shape mode 6. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs68057779 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 rs68057779 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2025, PMID:39574169. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
