near RPL21P71 · rs61508189

What the study found

Who was studied 33,992 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,727 European ancestry individuals, 2,943 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 11.1 higher (95% confidence interval 7.64-14.55); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q24 — between genes, 0.8 kb from RPL21P71.

What each result means

A/A Two 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.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Cortical surface area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cortical surface area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61508189

What is rs61508189?

rs61508189 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL21P71 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 rs61508189 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 rs61508189 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2020, PMID:32193296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
