Lateral thalamic nuclei volume

GMNC · rs187620717

What the study found

Who was studied 30,114 white British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0533 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.07); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — between genes, 32.2 kb from GMNC.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs187620717

What is rs187620717?

rs187620717 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMNC gene. Published research associates it with lateral thalamic nuclei volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs187620717 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 rs187620717 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34006833. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
