General risk tolerance (MTAG)

SH2B1 · rs11150623

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 975,353 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0082 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0058-0.0106); p = 3 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in an intron of SH2B1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11150623

What is rs11150623?

rs11150623 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH2B1 gene. Published research associates it with general risk tolerance (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11150623 linked to?

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

Does having rs11150623 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 rs11150623 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
