Volume of right central nucleus

near SLC39A8 · rs35166705

What the study found

Who was studied 18,575 European ancestry females, 4,526 East Asian ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0889 higher (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.112); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q24 — between genes, 15.3 kb from SLC39A8.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35166705

What is rs35166705?

rs35166705 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC39A8 gene. Published research associates it with volume of right central nucleus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35166705 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 rs35166705 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40097784. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
