Substantia nigra iron levels (R2* MRI)

DDHD1-DT · rs8008063

What the study found

Who was studied 39,533 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.058 higher (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.078); p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q22.1 — in an intron of DDHD1-DT.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Substantia nigra iron levels (R2* MRI). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Substantia nigra iron levels (R2* MRI). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Substantia nigra iron levels (R2* MRI). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8008063

What is rs8008063?

rs8008063 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DDHD1-DT gene. Published research associates it with substantia nigra iron levels (r2* mri). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8008063 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 rs8008063 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Neurobiology of disease 2024, PMID:38789058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
