rs1042725
HMGA2rs1042725 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HMGA2 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Appearance and Miscellaneous Traits analyses to describe Height Potential and Height.

An rsID such as rs1042725 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of TT, TC, CC. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so TC and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Height Potential
Physical Traits · Part of the Appearance analysis
Plays a role in growth and development affecting height.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| TT | Taller Stature |
| TC | Average Height |
| CT | Average Height |
| CC | Shorter Stature |
- Summary
- Variations contribute to differences in adult height.
- Scientific insights
- The 'TT' genotype is linked to increased height potential.
- Lifestyle tips
- Nutrition and lifestyle also significantly influence height during growth years.
Height
Physical Traits · Part of the Miscellaneous Traits analysis
The HMGA2 gene influences growth patterns, affecting height.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| CC | Taller |
| CT | Average Height |
| TT | Shorter |
- Summary
- Genetic variants play a significant role in determining adult height.
- Scientific insights
- 'CC' is associated with taller height, while 'TT' may indicate shorter stature.
- Lifestyle tips
- Nutrition during childhood can also influence height outcomes.
