Right hippocampal volume (tail)

near ENPP6 · rs12504966

What the study found

Who was studied 38,977 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0474 lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.062); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q35.1 — between genes, 23.3 kb from ENPP6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12504966

What is rs12504966?

rs12504966 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ENPP6 gene. Published research associates it with right hippocampal volume (tail). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12504966 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 rs12504966 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37337106. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
