What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0165 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.022); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — in an intron of TOMM20L-DT.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61974517

What is rs61974517?

rs61974517 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TOMM20L-DT 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 rs61974517 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 rs61974517 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 rs61974517 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
