Total cerebellar volume (excluding Crus I vermis)

near PTK2 · rs6984592

What the study found

Who was studied 33,265 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0335 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.044); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — between genes, 27.7 kb from PTK2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Total cerebellar volume (excluding Crus I vermis). 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 Total cerebellar volume (excluding Crus I vermis). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Total cerebellar volume (excluding Crus I vermis). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6984592

What is rs6984592?

rs6984592 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PTK2 gene. Published research associates it with total cerebellar volume (excluding crus i vermis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6984592 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 rs6984592 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2022, PMID:35079123. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
