What the study found

Who was studied 434,794 European ancestry female individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0135 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.017); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.2 — in an intron of PMFBP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs811054

What is rs811054?

rs811054 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PMFBP1 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs811054 linked to?

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

Does having rs811054 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 rs811054 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
