What the study found

Who was studied 1,249 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, 3,541 whole genome sequenced individuals, 46,910 European ancestry individuals, 471 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,197 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,043 Mylopotamos (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 933 Pomak (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,785 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 205,003 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0602 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.077); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q14.2 — in an intron of DLEU1.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/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 rs1568672

What is rs1568672?

rs1568672 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DLEU1 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 rs1568672 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 rs1568672 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 rs1568672 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2017, PMID:28552196. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
