What the study found

Who was studied 77,890 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0474 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.06); p = 6 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — in an intron of SLC38A9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3846502

What is rs3846502?

rs3846502 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC38A9 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 rs3846502 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 rs3846502 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 rs3846502 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.
