Corpus callosum total area

near RPL21P44 · rs7699970

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 C allele shifted the measure 3.13 lower (95% confidence interval 2.18-4.08); p = 9 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q12 — between genes, 13.2 kb from RPL21P44.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7699970

What is rs7699970?

rs7699970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL21P44 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 rs7699970 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 rs7699970 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.
