What the study found

Who was studied 1,249 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, 3,541 whole genome sequenced individuals, 46,910 European ancestry individuals, 471 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,197 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,043 Mylopotamos (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 933 Pomak (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,785 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 205,003 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0832 higher (95% confidence interval 0.062-0.104); p = 5 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q23 — in an intron of ZBTB38.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs28721484

What is rs28721484?

rs28721484 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PXYLP1 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 rs28721484 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 rs28721484 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 rs28721484 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2017, PMID:28552196. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
