What the study found

Who was studied 5,314,291 European ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, East Asian ancestry, African ancestry, South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0115 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0088-0.0142); p = 7 × 10−17.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.1 — in an intron of POLG.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-06-14. ClinVar record 675062 NM_002693.3(POLG):c.1712+110T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs2351000

What is rs2351000?

rs2351000 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POLG 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 rs2351000 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 rs2351000 affect how medicines work?

POLG carries pharmacogenomic findings for Valproic acid and valproate. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs2351000 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 rs2351000 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36224396. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
