Putamen volume

BCL2L1 · rs10439607

What the study found

Who was studied 37,571 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 341 South East and East Asian ancestry individuals, 769 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 8.13 z score lower; p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.21 — in an intron of BCL2L1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Putamen volume. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Putamen volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Putamen volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10439607

What is rs10439607?

rs10439607 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL2L1 gene. Published research associates it with putamen volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10439607 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 rs10439607 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31636452. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
