Rs6060369

rs6060369 is a SNP associated with a (slight) increase in height, in that individuals tend to be 0.44cm taller for each rs6060369(C) allele they carry. This finding was statistically significant (p=9.7x10e-7), and ultimately tested in over 28,000 individuals.

A haplotype of rs6060369 and rs143383, a neighboring SNP in the GDF5 gene, can be defined, which also links height to osteoarthritis since rs143383 has previously been linked to osteoarthritis.
