What the study found

Who was studied 36,227 East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 57,699 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.037 higher (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.053); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q35 — between genes, 0.3 kb from PLCD4.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Height compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Height.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Height — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs611203

What is rs611203?

rs611203 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLCD4 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 rs611203 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 rs611203 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 rs611203 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2015, PMID:25429064. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
