Standard

Height (baseline)

SCN4A · rs2109079

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−34, with 3 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 405,540 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.025 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.029); p = 1 × 10−34.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.3 — in an intron of SCN4A.

What each result means

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