What the study found

Who was studied 33,992 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,727 European ancestry individuals, 2,943 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 931 lower (95% confidence interval 726.48-1136.47); p = 5 × 10−19.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — between genes, 199.6 kb from RPS4XP9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9375477

What is rs9375477?

rs9375477 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPS4XP9 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 rs9375477 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 rs9375477 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2020, PMID:32193296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
