What the study found

Who was studied 4,080,687 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 49,160 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0405 lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.043); p = 6 × 10−240.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — between genes, 75.8 kb from LINC00485.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Height — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Height.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Height compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12830406

What is rs12830406?

rs12830406 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00485 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 rs12830406 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 rs12830406 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 rs12830406 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36224396. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
