Volume of right central nucleus

SLC39A14 · rs12679702

What the study found

Who was studied 16,899 European ancestry males, 2,397 East Asian ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0631 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.083); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.3 — in a regulatory region of SLC39A14.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Volume of right central nucleus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Volume of right central nucleus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Volume of right central nucleus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12679702

What is rs12679702?

rs12679702 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC39A14 gene. Published research associates it with volume of right central nucleus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12679702 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 rs12679702 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40097784. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
