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 34,794 British ancestry individuals.
The effect
The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 7 × 10−14.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p13 — in an intron of PTPRA.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Basal ganglia structure. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Basal ganglia structure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Basal ganglia structure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6138937
What is rs6138937?
rs6138937 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTPRA gene. Published research associates it with basal ganglia structure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs6138937 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 rs6138937 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39353893. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
