Cortical surface area

near MPRIP · rs78365041

What the study found

Who was studied 35,657 White British ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — between genes, 0.2 kb from MPRIP.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cortical surface area compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cortical surface area.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cortical surface area — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs78365041

What is rs78365041?

rs78365041 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MPRIP gene. Published research associates it with cortical surface area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78365041 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 rs78365041 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NeuroImage 2021, PMID:34560273. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
