Total hippocampal volume

SLC4A10 · rs1861979

What the study found

Who was studied 21,297 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 39.5 mm3 higher; p = 5 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.2 — between genes, 3.2 kb from DPP4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1861979

What is rs1861979?

rs1861979 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC4A10 gene. Published research associates it with total 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 rs1861979 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 rs1861979 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2018, PMID:30279459. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
