Body shape phenotype PC2

SMG6 · rs73976192

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−13, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 460,198 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0583 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.074); p = 8 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Body shape phenotype PC2. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73976192

What is rs73976192?

rs73976192 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 gene. Published research associates it with body shape phenotype pc2. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73976192 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 rs73976192 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.
