What the study found

Who was studied 55,006 British ancestry males, 61,132 British ancestry females; replicated in 112,425 British ancestry males, 133,936 British ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0409 lower; p = 7 × 10−35.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.21 — in an intron of HHIP-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7680661

What is rs7680661?

rs7680661 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HHIP gene. Published research associates it with body fat distribution (trunk fat ratio). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7680661 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7680661 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 rs7680661 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:30664634. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
