Neuroticism

near TMEM161B · rs13168787

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 449,484 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.14 z score lower (95% confidence interval -); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — between genes, 29.9 kb from LOC105379070.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Neuroticism compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Neuroticism.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Neuroticism — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs13168787

What is rs13168787?

rs13168787 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM161B gene. Published research associates it with neuroticism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs13168787 linked to?

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

Does having rs13168787 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 rs13168787 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29942085. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
