What the study found

Who was studied 4,080,687 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 49,160 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0238 higher (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.025); p = 1 × 10−254.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.3 — between genes, 60.6 kb from LINC02120.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Height compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Height.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Height — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4076512

What is rs4076512?

rs4076512 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02120 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 rs4076512 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 rs4076512 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 rs4076512 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.
