Who was studied 340,567 European ancestry individuals, 5,974 African ancestry individuals, 7,283 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.045 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.057); p = 4 × 10−13.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p22.2 — between genes, 78.9 kb from HFM1.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Insulin-like growth factor 1 levels compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Insulin-like growth factor 1 levels.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Insulin-like growth factor 1 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs79458861
What is rs79458861?
rs79458861 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HFM1 gene. Published research associates it with insulin-like growth factor 1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs79458861 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Gout. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs79458861 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 rs79458861 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
