What the study found

Who was studied 283,251 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0831 lower (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.094); p = 2 × 10−47.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.3 — a synonymous change in FER.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55954478

What is rs55954478?

rs55954478 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FER gene. Published research associates it with what is your height? (cm, 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 rs55954478 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 rs55954478 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 rs55954478 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.
