What the study found

Who was studied 67,452 Han Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.046 higher (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.057); p = 3 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.1 — in an intron of DYM.

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/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs12606199

What is rs12606199?

rs12606199 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DYM 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 rs12606199 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 rs12606199 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 rs12606199 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2022, PMID:35831902. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
