What the study found

Who was studied 360,388 European ancestry individuals, 165,056 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0098 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0067-0.0129); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p24.1 — in an intron of GLDC.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/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 rs2013966

What is rs2013966?

rs2013966 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GLDC 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 rs2013966 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 rs2013966 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 rs2013966 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
