Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10⁻⁷, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10⁻⁵⁰. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10⁻²⁰. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10⁻⁸). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 1,249 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, 3,541 whole genome sequenced individuals, 46,910 European ancestry individuals, 471 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,197 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,043 Mylopotamos (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 933 Pomak (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,785 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 205,003 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.161 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.22); p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.3 — in an intron of NUF2.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study. The ancestry rows are gnomAD's own groups (via Ensembl), as the survey defines them, not races.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T 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.
