Body shape phenotype PC3

near MDFIC · rs6945523

What the study found

Who was studied 460,198 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0152 lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.02); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 85% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.1 — between genes, 34.4 kb from MDFIC.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC3. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC3. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC3. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6945523

What is rs6945523?

rs6945523 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MDFIC gene. Published research associates it with body shape phenotype pc3. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6945523 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 rs6945523 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2024, PMID:38640244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
