Where this position leads
Condition: Waist Circumference
What the study found
Who was studied 219,872 British ancestry women.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0183 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.024); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 0.3 kb from LINC03022.
rs9329223 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-981G7.2 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
