Who was studied 119,012 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.054 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.065); p = 2 × 10−21.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p14 — in an intron of MEIS1.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/GOne copy of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12995572
What is rs12995572?
rs12995572 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MEIS1 gene. Published research associates it with height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12995572 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 rs12995572 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 rs12995572 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
