Corpus callosum splenium area

TNIK · rs6444974

What the study found

Who was studied 46,685 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,765 non-European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.22 higher (95% confidence interval 0.89-1.54); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.31 — in an intron of TNIK.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6444974

What is rs6444974?

rs6444974 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNIK gene. Published research associates it with corpus callosum splenium area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6444974 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 rs6444974 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41188267. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
