Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.014 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.017); p = 7 × 10−25.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — between genes, 9.9 kb from MAP2K2.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Standing height (UKB data field 50). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72978905
What is rs72978905?
rs72978905 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MAP2K2 gene. Published research associates it with standing height (ukb data field 50). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72978905 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Height, Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs72978905 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 rs72978905 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
