White matter hyperintensity volume

CARF1 · rs7603972

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 48,454 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.07 higher (95% confidence interval 0.051-0.089); p = 2 × 10⁻¹³.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of CARF.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to White matter hyperintensity volume. 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 White matter hyperintensity volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to White matter hyperintensity volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7603972

What is rs7603972?

rs7603972 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CARF1 gene. Published research associates it with white matter hyperintensity volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7603972 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 rs7603972 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:33293549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
