What the study found

Who was studied 119,012 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,810 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,384 East Asian ancestry individuals, 424,305 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0319 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.039); p = 1 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.2 — in an intron of MEGF9.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to height (mean, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to height (mean, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to height (mean, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10491784

What is rs10491784?

rs10491784 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MEGF9 gene. Published research associates it with height (mean, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10491784 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 rs10491784 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 rs10491784 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
