Volume of left medial nucleus

SLC39A8 · rs13103835

What the study found

Who was studied 35,474 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0462 higher (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.061); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q24 — in an intron of SLC39A8.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13103835

What is rs13103835?

rs13103835 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC39A8 gene. Published research associates it with volume of left medial nucleus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13103835 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 rs13103835 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.
