What the study found

Who was studied 283,749 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.236 higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.27); p = 2 × 10−36.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q14.3 — in an intron of DLEU1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs149890

What is rs149890?

rs149890 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DLEU1 gene. Published research associates it with height (standard gwa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs149890 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 rs149890 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 rs149890 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2023, PMID:37106081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
