Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter

SH3PXD2A · rs2863994

What the study found

Who was studied 54,890 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.118 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.079-0.157); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.33 — in an intron of SH3PXD2A.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2863994

What is rs2863994?

rs2863994 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH3PXD2A gene. Published research associates it with brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2863994 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 rs2863994 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature aging 2025, PMID:41044200. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
