Vertex-wise cortical thickness

near GOLGA4-AS1 · rs9874437

What the study found

Who was studied 33,748 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.24 z score higher; p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p22.2 — between genes, 16.6 kb from GOLGA4-AS1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Vertex-wise cortical thickness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9874437

What is rs9874437?

rs9874437 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GOLGA4-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with vertex-wise cortical thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9874437 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 rs9874437 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:34910505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
