What the study found

Who was studied 405,540 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.024 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.032); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.1 — between genes, 2.3 kb from ISLR.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs565223578

What is rs565223578?

rs565223578 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ISLR gene. Published research associates it with height (baseline). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs565223578 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 rs565223578 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 rs565223578 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40374629. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
