Brain region volumes (right insula)

ARHGAP6 · rs5935037

What the study found

Who was studied 37,772 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.69 z score lower; p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp22.2 — in an intron of ARHGAP6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain region volumes (right insula). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Brain region volumes (right insula). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Brain region volumes (right insula). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs5935037

What is rs5935037?

rs5935037 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGAP6 gene. Published research associates it with brain region volumes (right insula). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs5935037 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 rs5935037 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2025, PMID:39854466. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
