Where this position leads

Condition: Height

What the study found

Who was studied 41,389 African ancestry individuals; replicated in 11,364 African ancestry individuals, 253,288 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.071 higher (95% confidence interval 0.053-0.089); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁵.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of DEF6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C 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 rs12332985

What is rs12332985?

rs12332985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DEF6 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 rs12332985 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 rs12332985 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 rs12332985 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:33713608. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
