Who was studied 405,540 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0131 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.0168); p = 3 × 10−12.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 85% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — between genes, 7 kb from B3GNT7.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Height (baseline). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72985851
What is rs72985851?
rs72985851 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near B3GNT7 gene. Published research associates it with height (baseline). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72985851 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 rs72985851 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 rs72985851 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40374629. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
