What the study found

Who was studied 293,593 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0242 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.032); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q12.1 — between genes, 138 kb from COL8A1.

What each result means

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.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13101237

What is rs13101237?

rs13101237 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near COL8A1 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 rs13101237 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 rs13101237 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 rs13101237 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.
