Whole amygdala volume

near HRK · rs11068224

What the study found

Who was studied 35,292 European ancestry individuals, 227 African ancestry individuals, 380 South Asian ancestry individuals, 115 East Asian ancestry individuals, 338 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 34.7 higher (95% confidence interval 26.54-42.82); p = 7 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.22 — between genes, 5.7 kb from HRK.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Whole amygdala 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 Whole amygdala volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Whole amygdala volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11068224

What is rs11068224?

rs11068224 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HRK gene. Published research associates it with whole amygdala volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11068224 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 rs11068224 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychiatry 2024, PMID:37391117. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
