What the study found

Who was studied 137,136 European ancestry cases, 1,085,746 European ancestry controls, 11,560 African or Admixed ancestry cases, 39,474 African or Admixed ancestry controls, 2,064 Native American or Latin American cases, 4,953 Native American or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.57 z score lower; p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp21.3 — in an intron of POLA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10284205

What is rs10284205?

rs10284205 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POLA1 gene. Published research associates it with post-traumatic stress disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10284205 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10284205 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 rs10284205 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38637617. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
