Corpus callosum total area

near GAP43 · rs71321439

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 T allele shifted the measure 2.84 lower (95% confidence interval 1.91-3.77); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q13.31 — between genes, 154.3 kb from GAP43.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Corpus callosum total area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Corpus callosum total area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs71321439

What is rs71321439?

rs71321439 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GAP43 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 rs71321439 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 rs71321439 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.
