LINC02743 · rs1496246

What the study found

Who was studied 186,689 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.104 lower (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.136); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q25 — in an intron of LINC02743.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity (hyperarousal). 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 Post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity (hyperarousal). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity (hyperarousal). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1496246

What is rs1496246?

rs1496246 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02743 gene. Published research associates it with post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity (hyperarousal). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1496246 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 rs1496246 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33510476. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
