What the study found

Who was studied 67,452 Han Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.048 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.059); p = 2 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.32 — in an intron of GNAS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8121252

What is rs8121252?

rs8121252 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNAS 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 rs8121252 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 rs8121252 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 rs8121252 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2022, PMID:35831902. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
