What the study found

Who was studied 291,107 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.371 higher (95% confidence interval 0.24-0.5); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — between genes, 1 kb from CYCSP55.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9689096

What is rs9689096?

rs9689096 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HMGA1 gene. Published research associates it with waist circumference. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9689096 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9689096 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 rs9689096 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolic syndrome and related disorders 2020, PMID:31928498. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
