What the study found

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

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Bipolar I disorder (95% confidence interval 0.88-0.93); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.33 — in an intron of CACNA1C.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Bipolar I disorder — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Bipolar I disorder.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Bipolar I disorder compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11062170

What is rs11062170?

rs11062170 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNA1C 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.

What conditions is rs11062170 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Bipolar Disorder. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11062170 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 rs11062170 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.
