Corpus callosum splenium area

FBXL7 · rs17523181

What the study found

Who was studied 46,685 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,765 non-European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.04 higher (95% confidence interval 0.69-1.39); p = 4 × 10−9.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.1 — in an intron of FBXL7.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Corpus callosum splenium area. 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 Corpus callosum splenium area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Corpus callosum splenium area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17523181

What is rs17523181?

rs17523181 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBXL7 gene. Published research associates it with corpus callosum splenium area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17523181 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 rs17523181 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41188267. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
