Normal pressure hydrocephalus

PLEKHG1 · rs62434144

What the study found

Who was studied 1,522 Finnish ancestry cases, 451,091 Finnish ancestry controls; replicated in 173 cases, 419,453 controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.218 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.28); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — in an intron of PLEKHG1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62434144

What is rs62434144?

rs62434144 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLEKHG1 gene. Published research associates it with normal pressure hydrocephalus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62434144 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 rs62434144 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Neurology 2024, PMID:39141892. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
