Nucleus accumbens volume

GMNC · rs9818981

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 32,562 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 341 South East and East Asian ancestry individuals, 85 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.16 z score lower; p = 7 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — in an intron of GMNC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Nucleus accumbens volume. 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 Nucleus accumbens volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Nucleus accumbens volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9818981

What is rs9818981?

rs9818981 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMNC gene. Published research associates it with nucleus accumbens volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9818981 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 rs9818981 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31636452. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
