What the study found
Who was studied 186,825 British ancestry men.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.02 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCG27.
rs9501520 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCG27 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.
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.
