Verbal short term memory

CDH18 · rs347713

What the study found

Who was studied 44,874 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 8,763 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 5.52 z score higher; p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p14.3 — in an intron of CDH18.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory. 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 Verbal short term memory. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs347713

What is rs347713?

rs347713 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDH18 gene. Published research associates it with verbal short term memory. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs347713 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 rs347713 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2022, PMID:35974141. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
