Condition: Height
What the study found
Who was studied 2,603 Korean ancestry males, 2,869 Korean ancestry females; replicated in 19,571 Korean ancestry males, 37,321 Korean ancestry females.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.4 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.48); p = 2 × 10−20.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — between genes, 0.6 kb from KRT18P9.
rs6457762 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KRT18P9 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Height. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
