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 0.064 higher (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.076); p = 8 × 10−44.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — in an intron of DIS3L2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6728302

What is rs6728302?

rs6728302 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DIS3L2 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 rs6728302 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 rs6728302 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 rs6728302 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.
