Who was studied 119,012 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,810 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,384 East Asian ancestry individuals, 424,306 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0474 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.054); p = 1 × 10−39.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q14.1 — in an intron of BCKDHB.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to height (minimum, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4446525
What is rs4446525?
rs4446525 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCKDHB gene. Published research associates it with height (minimum, 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 rs4446525 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 rs4446525 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 rs4446525 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.
