near RPL9P5 · rs170239

What the study found

Who was studied 33,992 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,727 European ancestry individuals, 2,943 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.71 lower (95% confidence interval 3.94-7.48); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — between genes, 33.4 kb from RPL9P5.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cortical surface area — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cortical surface area.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cortical surface area compared to the general population.

Questions about rs170239

What is rs170239?

rs170239 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL9P5 gene. Published research associates it with cortical surface area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs170239 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 rs170239 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2020, PMID:32193296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
