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 C; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 2 × 10−14.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — between genes, 0 kb from TMEM88.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Cortical surface area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Cortical surface area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Cortical surface area. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs55809496 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM88 gene. Published research associates it with cortical surface area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs55809496 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 rs55809496 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.
