What the study found

Who was studied Up to 2,256 European ancestry cases.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.243 higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.33); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p14.1 — between genes, 113.5 kb from PURPL.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12054895

What is rs12054895?

rs12054895 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PURPL gene. Published research associates it with major depressive 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 rs12054895 linked to?

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

Does having rs12054895 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 rs12054895 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The American journal of psychiatry 2013, PMID:23377640. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
