Questions about rs117618307

What is rs117618307?

rs117618307 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MGA gene. Published research associates it with feeling nervous. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117618307 linked to?

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

Does having rs117618307 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 rs117618307 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29500382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
