Post-traumatic stress disorder

near LINC02335 · rs115539978

Where this position leads

Condition: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

What the study found

Who was studied 23,212 European ancestry cases, 4,363 African ancestry cases, 1,981 Latino and Native American ancestry cases, 151,447 European ancestry controls, 10,976 African ancestry controls, 3,722 Latino and Native American ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.33 times the odds of Post-traumatic stress disorder (95% confidence interval 1.20-1.47); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.1 — between genes, 5.5 kb from LINC02335.

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 rs115539978

What is rs115539978?

rs115539978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02335 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 rs115539978 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 rs115539978 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 rs115539978 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31594949. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
