What the study found

Who was studied up to 248,507 non-Hispanic white individuals, up to 68,155 non-Hispanic black individuals, up to 25,847 Hispanic individuals, up to 3,054 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.1 higher; p = 6 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — in an intron of CXXC5.

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 rs73790670

What is rs73790670?

rs73790670 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CXXC5 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 rs73790670 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 rs73790670 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 rs73790670 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2019, PMID:31564439. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
