What the study found

Who was studied 51,137 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 27,055 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 3,110 East Asian ancestry individuals, 283,251 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0345 higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.042); p = 3 × 10−18.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — in an intron of EXOSC5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to What is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs878083

What is rs878083?

rs878083 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EXOSC5 gene. Published research associates it with what is your height? (cm, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs878083 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 rs878083 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 rs878083 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
