What the study found

Who was studied 119,012 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,810 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,384 East Asian ancestry individuals, 424,305 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0238 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.031); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q12 — in the 3′ untranslated region of DCUN1D4.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of height (mean, inv-normal transformed) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with height (mean, inv-normal transformed).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of height (mean, inv-normal transformed) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs17611623

What is rs17611623?

rs17611623 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCUN1D4 gene. Published research associates it with height (mean, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17611623 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 rs17611623 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 rs17611623 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
