CENPW · rs117892760

What the study found

Who was studied 33,992 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,727 European ancestry individuals, 2,943 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 26.2 lower (95% confidence interval 20.54-31.92); p = 2 × 10−19.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.32 — in an intron of CENPW.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117892760

What is rs117892760?

rs117892760 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CENPW gene. Published research associates it with cortical surface area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117892760 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 rs117892760 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2020, PMID:32193296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
