Where this position leads

Condition: Height

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.0586 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.072); p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁸.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CDK6.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Height compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Height.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Height — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs42377

What is rs42377?

rs42377 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDK6 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 rs42377 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 rs42377 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 rs42377 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.
