Language functional connectivity

FAM172A · rs145120402

What the study found

Who was studied 32,186 British ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−9.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q15 — in an intron of ARB2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs145120402

What is rs145120402?

rs145120402 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM172A gene. Published research associates it with language functional connectivity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs145120402 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 rs145120402 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NeuroImage 2022, PMID:34929384. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
