What the study found

Who was studied 20,427 African ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 16,436 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.081 lower (95% confidence interval 0.057-0.105); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of PPARD.

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/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.

Questions about rs9470004

What is rs9470004?

rs9470004 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARD 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 rs9470004 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 rs9470004 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 rs9470004 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2011, PMID:21998595. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
