Surface area (left lateral occipital)

VBP1 · rs11156600

What the study found

Who was studied 37,772 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.99 z score lower; p = 3 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq28 — inside VBP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Surface area (left lateral occipital). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Surface area (left lateral occipital). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Surface area (left lateral occipital). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11156600

What is rs11156600?

rs11156600 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VBP1 gene. Published research associates it with surface area (left lateral occipital). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11156600 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 rs11156600 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2025, PMID:39854466. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
