What the study found

Who was studied 119,011 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,810 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,384 East Asian ancestry individuals, 424,305 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0237 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.03); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p13.3 — in a regulatory region of SPAAR.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Height (maximum, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height (maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Height (maximum, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2890718

What is rs2890718?

rs2890718 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPAAR gene. Published research associates it with height (maximum, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2890718 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 rs2890718 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 rs2890718 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
