Questions about rs12202969

What is rs12202969?

rs12202969 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POU3F2 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar 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 rs12202969 linked to?

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

Does having rs12202969 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 rs12202969 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2014, PMID:24618891. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
