Brain age gap derived from gray matter

AFG3L1P · rs76839250

What the study found

Who was studied 54,890 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.246 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.32); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of AFG3L1P.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from gray matter. 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 Brain age gap derived from gray matter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Brain age gap derived from gray matter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs76839250

What is rs76839250?

rs76839250 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFG3L1P gene. Published research associates it with brain age gap derived from gray matter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs76839250 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 rs76839250 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature aging 2025, PMID:41044200. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
