Brain region volumes (left ventral DC)

near PJA1 · rs2361468

What the study found

Who was studied 37,772 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.48 z score lower; p = 9 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq13.1 — between genes, 3.1 kb from PJA1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain region volumes (left ventral DC). 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 Brain region volumes (left ventral DC). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Brain region volumes (left ventral DC). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2361468

What is rs2361468?

rs2361468 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PJA1 gene. Published research associates it with brain region volumes (left ventral dc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2361468 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 rs2361468 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2025, PMID:39854466. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
