Who was studied 697,734 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0152 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.02); p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 83% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.1 — a synonymous change in NUP85.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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 rs9988
What is rs9988?
rs9988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NUP85 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 rs9988 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 rs9988 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 rs9988 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.
