  • the GWAS shows a significant link in over 33 thousand people

What the research says A GWAS of about 33 thousand individuals found that the T allele is linked to cortical surface area, reporting a reported effect size of 12.73 and a p value of 1e-12 PMID 32193296. GTEx expression data show that the ALT allele increases HDAC9 expression in brain cortex, putamen basal ganglia, nerve tibial, breast mammary tissue, thyroid and skin sun exposed lower leg GTEx Portal.

Reported associations

  • Cortical surface area - the T allele is linked to larger cortical surface area with a reported effect size of 12.73 and p=1e-12 [PMID 32193296].

Evidence quality The supplied studies include a GWAS catalog association in about 33 thousand individuals reporting a significant link with the T allele, effect size 12.73 p=1e-12 and no conflicting findings.

Tissue-specific expression effects

  • HDAC9: increased expression in whole brain cortex, putamen basal ganglia, nerve tibial, breast mammary tissue, thyroid, and skin sun exposed lower leg GTEx Portal.

No lifestyle considerations on file for this variant.
