What the study found

Who was studied 283,749 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.133 higher (95% confidence interval 0.088-0.179); p = 7 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.21 — between genes, 1.1 kb from CDK5RAP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Height (standard GWA). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs291668

What is rs291668?

rs291668 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CDK5RAP1 gene. Published research associates it with height (standard gwa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs291668 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 rs291668 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 rs291668 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2023, PMID:37106081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
