Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (inattention symptoms)

POU6F2 · rs12538843

What the study found

Who was studied 27 Korean ancestry child sibling pairs.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.1 — in an intron of YAE1-DT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (inattention symptoms). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (inattention symptoms). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (inattention symptoms). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12538843

What is rs12538843?

rs12538843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POU6F2 gene. Published research associates it with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (inattention symptoms). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12538843 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 rs12538843 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Soa--ch'ongsonyon chongsin uihak = Journal of child & adolescent psychiatry 2018, PMID:32595297. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
