Hippocampal subfield left CA3 volume (head)

ASTN2 · rs6478240

What the study found

Who was studied 38,977 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0511 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.065); p = 2 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.1 — in an intron of ASTN2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Hippocampal subfield left CA3 volume (head). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hippocampal subfield left CA3 volume (head). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Hippocampal subfield left CA3 volume (head). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6478240

What is rs6478240?

rs6478240 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ASTN2 gene. Published research associates it with hippocampal subfield left ca3 volume (head). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6478240 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 rs6478240 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37337106. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
