Questions about rs686320

What is rs686320?

rs686320 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MALAT1 gene. Published research associates it with hip circumference adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs686320 linked to?

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

Does having rs686320 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 rs686320 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.
