Cortical thickness

ZSWIM4 · rs56177954

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 = 1 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.12 — a missense change in ZSWIM4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56177954

What is rs56177954?

rs56177954 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZSWIM4 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 rs56177954 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 rs56177954 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.
