Questions about rs12137936

What is rs12137936?

rs12137936 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with experiencing mood swings. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12137936 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 rs12137936 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 rs12137936 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.
