Language functional connectivity

PAX8 · rs62158166

What the study found

Who was studied 32,186 British ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62158166

What is rs62158166?

rs62158166 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAX8 gene. Published research associates it with language functional connectivity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62158166 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 rs62158166 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NeuroImage 2022, PMID:34929384. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
