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.

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10⁻¹⁴, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10⁻⁵⁰. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10⁻²⁰. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10⁻⁸). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 33,748 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 7.66 z score higher; p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — between genes, 103.2 kb from EXOC2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7751939

What is rs7751939?

rs7751939 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EXOC2 gene. Published research associates it with vertex-wise cortical thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7751939 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 rs7751939 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34910505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
