Where this position leads
Condition: Height
What the study found
Who was studied 405,540 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0301 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.038); p = 4 × 10−15.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — between genes, 217.1 kb from RSPO3.
rs140799643 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RSPO3 gene. Published research associates it with height (baseline). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Height. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
