Volume of right paralaminar nucleus

near LINC00581 · rs768697

What the study found

Who was studied 16,899 European ancestry males, 2,397 East Asian ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0524 lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.071); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — between genes, 90.4 kb from LINC00581.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Volume of right paralaminar nucleus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Volume of right paralaminar nucleus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Volume of right paralaminar nucleus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs768697

What is rs768697?

rs768697 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00581 gene. Published research associates it with volume of right paralaminar nucleus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs768697 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 rs768697 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40097784. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
