What the study found

Who was studied 455,180 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0188 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.023); p = 6 × 10−18.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.2 — in an intron of RAI14.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs162909

What is rs162909?

rs162909 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAI14 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 rs162909 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 rs162909 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 rs162909 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.
