DTI TBSS L1 Posterior limb of internal capsule R

BCAT1 · rs72640140

What the study found

Who was studied 7,058 Chinese Han ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.117 higher (95% confidence interval 0.083-0.151); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — in an intron of BCAT1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DTI TBSS L1 Posterior limb of internal capsule R. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to DTI TBSS L1 Posterior limb of internal capsule R. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to DTI TBSS L1 Posterior limb of internal capsule R. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72640140

What is rs72640140?

rs72640140 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCAT1 gene. Published research associates it with dti tbss l1 posterior limb of internal capsule r. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72640140 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 rs72640140 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38811844. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
