Brain volume in infants (grey matter)

IGFBP7 · rs114518130

What the study found

Who was studied 295 European, African American, Asian, Native American and other admixed ancestry infants, 17 European, African American, Asian, Native American and other admixed ancestry sibling pairs, 116 European, African American, Asian, Native American and other admixed ancestry twin pairs..

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 6.13 percent higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 4 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q12 — in an intron of IGFBP7.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Brain volume in infants (grey matter) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Brain volume in infants (grey matter).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Brain volume in infants (grey matter) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs114518130

What is rs114518130?

rs114518130 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGFBP7 gene. Published research associates it with brain volume in infants (grey matter). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs114518130 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 rs114518130 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Transl Psychiatry 2017, PMID:28763065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
