What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0355 lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.038); p = 1 × 10−202.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q22 — between genes, 8.2 kb from SOCS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11107120

What is rs11107120?

rs11107120 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SOCS2 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 rs11107120 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 rs11107120 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 rs11107120 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
