What the study found

Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0438 higher (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.054); p = 6 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.21 — between genes, 13.8 kb from KRT18P51.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hip circumference adjusted for BMI. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs76722643

What is rs76722643?

rs76722643 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KRT18P51 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 rs76722643 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 rs76722643 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 rs76722643 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2021, PMID:34021172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
