What the study found

Who was studied 316,772 European ancestry male individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0184 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.022); p = 8 × 10−21.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of TMEM219.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9932196

What is rs9932196?

rs9932196 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM219 gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9932196 linked to?

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

Does having rs9932196 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 rs9932196 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
