Vertex-wise sulcal depth

EFNA5 · rs641406

What the study found

Who was studied 33,748 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 6.72 z score higher; p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.3 — in an intron of EFNA5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise sulcal depth. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise sulcal depth. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise sulcal depth. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs641406

What is rs641406?

rs641406 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EFNA5 gene. Published research associates it with vertex-wise sulcal depth. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs641406 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 rs641406 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34910505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
