Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 35,657 White British ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁵.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of RUNX2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cortical thickness — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cortical thickness.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cortical thickness compared to the general population.

Questions about rs4714854

What is rs4714854?

rs4714854 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RUNX2 gene. Published research associates it with cortical thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4714854 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 rs4714854 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NeuroImage 2021, PMID:34560273. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
