What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0151 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 1 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q12 — in a regulatory region of NFATC4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs55726184

What is rs55726184?

rs55726184 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFATC4 gene. Published research associates it with standing height (ukb data field 50). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs55726184 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 rs55726184 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 rs55726184 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
