What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0222 higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.025); p = 3 × 10−74.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q24 — in an intron of TET2-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2647251

What is rs2647251?

rs2647251 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TET2 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 rs2647251 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 rs2647251 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 rs2647251 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
