What the study found

Who was studied 371,184 European ancestry cases, 978,703 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0222 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.028); p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.3 — in a regulatory region of AREL1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Depression. 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 Depression. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Depression. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11621186

What is rs11621186?

rs11621186 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AREL1 gene. Published research associates it with depression. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11621186 linked to?

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

Does having rs11621186 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 rs11621186 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2023, PMID:37464041. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
