Hippocampal tail volume

near NEUROD6 · rs58499557

What the study found

Who was studied 21,297 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 12.5 mm3 lower; p = 3 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.3 — between genes, 54.4 kb from NEUROD6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs58499557

What is rs58499557?

rs58499557 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NEUROD6 gene. Published research associates it with hippocampal tail volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs58499557 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 rs58499557 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2020, PMID:30279459. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
