What the study found

Who was studied 19,633 Japanese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.07 cm lower (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.09); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — in an intron of LINC02456.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Height. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

What is rs5742692?

rs5742692 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGF1 gene. Published research associates it with height. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs5742692 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.

What do people read about alongside rs5742692?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include exercise and muscle (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs5742692 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 rs5742692 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2010, PMID:20189936. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
