Who was studied 557,923 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0143 lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.018); p = 6 × 10−13.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 61% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.12 — in an intron of HP1BP3.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Adventurousness compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Adventurousness.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Adventurousness — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs12404954 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HP1BP3 gene. Published research associates it with adventurousness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12404954 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Adventurousness. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12404954 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 rs12404954 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
