What the study found

Who was studied 253,288 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 336,474 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0141 higher; p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — in the 5′ untranslated region of DCST1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Height. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Height. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs76306191

What is rs76306191?

rs76306191 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCST1 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 rs76306191 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 rs76306191 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 rs76306191 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2018, PMID:29782485. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
