What the study found

Who was studied 13,665 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 16,482 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.09 s.d. higher (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.12); p = 8 × 10−23.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.2 — in an intron of CDK6.

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 rs2282978

What is rs2282978?

rs2282978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDK6 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 rs2282978 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 rs2282978 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 rs2282978 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:18391952. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
