Volume of left whole amygdala

GMNC · rs35679428

What the study found

Who was studied 35,474 European ancestry individuals, 6,923 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0404 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.051); p = 1 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — in an intron of GMNC.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35679428

What is rs35679428?

rs35679428 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMNC gene. Published research associates it with volume of left whole amygdala. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35679428 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 rs35679428 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.
