What the research says This variant is associated with vertex-wise sulcal depth, a measure of brain folding. The GWAS reports an effect size of 7.46, p=9e-14, in about 33 thousand individuals [PMID 34910505]. GTEx shows increased expression of RBFOX1 in the testis with a slope of +0.32 and p=1.8e-10 [GTEx].

Reported associations

  • Brain sulcal depth: the variant is linked to deeper sulci, reported effect size 7.46, p=9e-14, in about 33 thousand individuals [PMID 34910505]
  • Gene expression: increased RBFOX1 expression in testis, slope +0.32, p=1.8e-10 [GTEx]

Evidence quality The supplied studies do not report a direct trait association for this variant; the rsid appears via GWAS Catalog association.
