A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sitting height ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:25865494)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sitting height ratio. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:25865494)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sitting height ratio compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:25865494)

Questions about rs228836
What is rs228836?
rs228836 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFATC2 gene. Published research associates it with sitting height ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs228836 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 rs228836 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 rs228836 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:25865494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
