SHARPIN · rs77359862

What the study found

Who was studied 2,643 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.6 lower (95% confidence interval 0.42-0.78); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — a missense change in SHARPIN.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hippocampal 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 Hippocampal volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hippocampal volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs77359862

What is rs77359862?

rs77359862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHARPIN gene. Published research associates it with hippocampal volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77359862 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 rs77359862 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Translational psychiatry 2021, PMID:34785643. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
