Corpus callosum total area

near VIT · rs6730884

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 2.95 lower (95% confidence interval 2.01-3.89); p = 7 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p22.2 — between genes, 9.6 kb from VIT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6730884

What is rs6730884?

rs6730884 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near VIT gene. Published research associates it with corpus callosum total area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6730884 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 rs6730884 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.
