Thalamus iron levels (R2* MRI)

MYO15A · rs62073607

What the study found

Who was studied 39,533 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0566 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.073); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — in an intron of MYO15A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Thalamus iron levels (R2* MRI). 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 Thalamus iron levels (R2* MRI). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Thalamus iron levels (R2* MRI). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62073607

What is rs62073607?

rs62073607 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO15A gene. Published research associates it with thalamus iron levels (r2* mri). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62073607 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 rs62073607 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Neurobiology of disease 2024, PMID:38789058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
