Bipolar I disorder

HTR6 · rs10917509

What the study found

Who was studied 25,060 European ancestry cases, 449,978 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Bipolar I disorder (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.1); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.13 — in the 5′ untranslated region of HTR6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10917509

What is rs10917509?

rs10917509 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HTR6 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar i disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10917509 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 rs10917509 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34002096. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
