Standard

Height (baseline)

near HLA-DQB1 · rs554448117

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−19, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 405,540 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0161 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.02); p = 3 × 10−19.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 3.3 kb from HLA-DQB1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). 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 (baseline). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
DNA databases also record a third, rare version at this position, carried on fewer than one in a hundred copies of the DNA. The three results above cover the two common versions only.
