White matter hyperintensities

SH3PXD2A · rs4630220

What the study found

Who was studied 39,011 European ancestry individuals, 2,099 African ancestry individuals, 795 Hispanic individuals, 3,299 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 7.24 Zscore lower; p = 1 × 10−14.

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

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4630220

What is rs4630220?

rs4630220 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH3PXD2A gene. Published research associates it with white matter hyperintensities. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4630220 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 rs4630220 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32358547. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
