Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter

INPP5A · rs12775990

What the study found

Who was studied 54,890 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.189 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.23); p = 5 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.3 — in an intron of INPP5A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12775990

What is rs12775990?

rs12775990 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INPP5A gene. Published research associates it with brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12775990 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 rs12775990 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature aging 2025, PMID:41044200. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
