near TMEM100 · rs8074638

What the study found

Who was studied 379,501 European ancestry female individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0157 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — between genes, 64.5 kb from TMEM100.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist-to-hip ratio 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 Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8074638

What is rs8074638?

rs8074638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM100 gene. Published research associates it with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for bmi. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8074638 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 rs8074638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
