Who was studied 9,637 Korean ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.673 cm higher; p = 3 × 10−9.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.3 — inside PCSK6.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Waist circumference. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs77098222
What is rs77098222?
rs77098222 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCSK6 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs77098222 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs77098222 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 rs77098222 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2022, PMID:35121771. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
