Rs1042725

nature SNP rs1042725 is associated with height (P = 4E-8) in a study involving over 20,000 individuals. The gene harboring this SNP, HMGA2, is a strong biological candidate for having an influence on height, since rare, severe mutations in this gene are known to alter body size in mice and humans.

rs1042725 is estimated to explain approx 0.3% of population variation in height in both adults and children (approx 0.4 cm increased adult height per C allele).

[PMID 19139030] rs1042725 is associated with increased height (0.36 cm 95% IC[0.12-0.61] per C allele, P=0.004). in men rs1042725 may explain 3% of height variability
