Brain functional connectivity measurement (strength limbic)

LINC02966 · rs62158161

What the study found

Who was studied 18,445 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.069 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.093); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q14.1 — in an intron of LINC02966.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain functional connectivity measurement (strength limbic). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Brain functional connectivity measurement (strength limbic). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Brain functional connectivity measurement (strength limbic). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62158161

What is rs62158161?

rs62158161 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02966 gene. Published research associates it with brain functional connectivity measurement (strength limbic). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62158161 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 rs62158161 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GWAS Catalog n.d., PMID:34272439. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
