PTPN9 · rs7184046

Where this position leads

Condition: Height

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 C allele shifted the measure 0.03 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.042); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.2 — in an intron of PTPN9.

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/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 rs7184046

What is rs7184046?

rs7184046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTPN9 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 rs7184046 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 rs7184046 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 rs7184046 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.
