Verbal short term memory (paragraph recall test)

near RAC1P8 · rs11148561

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 19,662 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,293 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 5.45 z score lower; p = 5 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.2 — between genes, 128 kb from RAC1P8.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory (paragraph recall test). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory (paragraph recall test). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory (paragraph recall test). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11148561

What is rs11148561?

rs11148561 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RAC1P8 gene. Published research associates it with verbal short term memory (paragraph recall test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11148561 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 rs11148561 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2022, PMID:35974141. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
