Arm length

near COL6A4P2 · rs80244453

What the study found

Who was studied 1,545 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 2.67 lower; p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.1 — between genes, 10 kb from COL6A4P2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Arm length. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Arm length. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Arm length. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs80244453

What is rs80244453?

rs80244453 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near COL6A4P2 gene. Published research associates it with arm length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs80244453 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 rs80244453 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2026, PMID:42586059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
