Verbal short term memory

CDH18 · rs797311

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.

What the study found

Who was studied 44,874 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 8,763 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 5.63 z score higher; p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p14.3 — in an intron of CDH18.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Verbal short term memory. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs797311

What is rs797311?

rs797311 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDH18 gene. Published research associates it with verbal short term memory. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs797311 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 rs797311 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2022, PMID:35974141. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
