Left hippocampal volume

near ASTN2 · rs17303101

What the study found

Who was studied 65,791 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0373 lower (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.049); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.1 — between genes, 3.6 kb from ASTN2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17303101

What is rs17303101?

rs17303101 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ASTN2 gene. Published research associates it with left hippocampal volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17303101 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 rs17303101 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37337106. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
