We prove a lower bound for the codimension of the Andreotti-Mayer locus Ng,1​ and show that the lower bound is reached only for the hyperelliptic locus in genus 4 and the Jacobian locus in genus 5. In relation with the intersection of the Andreotti-Mayer loci with the boundary of the moduli space Ag​ we study subvarieties of principally polarized abelian varieties (B,Ξ) parametrizing points b such that Ξ and the translate Ξb​ are tangentially degenerate along a variety of a given dimension.
