CRH · rs72652703

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00992 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0068-0.013); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.1 — in an intron of RRS1-DT.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Adult body size. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72652703

What is rs72652703?

rs72652703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CRH gene. Published research associates it with adult body size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72652703 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 rs72652703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
