Questions about rs2854160

What is rs2854160?

rs2854160 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CSH1 gene. Published research associates it with height. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2854160 linked to?

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

Does having rs2854160 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 rs2854160 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2011, PMID:21998595. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
