Positive affect

near DRD2 · rs10891549

What the study found

Who was studied 410,603 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.00832 lower (95% confidence interval 0.006-0.0106); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.2 — between genes, 1.9 kb from DRD2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10891549

What is rs10891549?

rs10891549 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DRD2 gene. Published research associates it with positive affect. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10891549 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 rs10891549 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
