Where this position leads

Condition: Height

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. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20881960)

A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Height. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20881960)

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Height — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20881960)

Questions about rs6457821

What is rs6457821?

rs6457821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARD/FANCE 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 rs6457821 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 rs6457821 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 rs6457821 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20881960. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
