Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 32,634 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 22,256 European ancestry individuals, 337 African ancestry individuals, 94 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 638 Central Asian or South Asian ancestry individuals, 291 East Asian ancestry individuals, 98 Middle Eastern ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.208 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.27); p = 2 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome Y, band Yp11.2 — in an intron of DHRSX.
rs62595479 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DHRSX gene. Published research associates it with brain age gap derived from combined gray and white matter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
