What the study found

Who was studied 2,518 African American women, 85,730 European ancestry women, 1,773 Filipino ancestry women, 1,030 Indian ancestry women, 1,457 African American men, 54,792 European ancestry men, 7,648 Indian ancestry men, 5,527 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 6,244 African American women, 17,531 European ancestry women, 329 African American men, 19,956 European ancestry men.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0265 cm higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.036); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q23 — in an intron of TLE3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. 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 circumference adjusted for body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs975210

What is rs975210?

rs975210 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TLE3 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.

What conditions is rs975210 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 rs975210 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 rs975210 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2017, PMID:28448500. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
