Who was studied 35,098 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 1 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q23 — in an intron of MBP.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Parkinson's disease-related grey matter volume atrophy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Parkinson's disease-related grey matter volume atrophy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Parkinson's disease-related grey matter volume atrophy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs470934 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MBP gene. Published research associates it with parkinson's disease-related grey matter volume atrophy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs470934 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Parkinson's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs470934 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 rs470934 come from?
GWAS Catalog, NeuroImage 2026, PMID:42336304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
