What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.041 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.05); p = 2 × 10−26.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 19.3 kb from LINC02571.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs113300871

What is rs113300871?

rs113300871 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02571 gene. Published research associates it with standing height (ukb data field 50). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs113300871 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 rs113300871 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 rs113300871 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
