C6orf58 · rs79618076

What the study found

Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0354 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.046); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — inside C6orf58.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Waist-hip index — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Waist-hip index.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Waist-hip index compared to the general population.

Questions about rs79618076

What is rs79618076?

rs79618076 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C6orf58 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79618076 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 rs79618076 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.
