Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 688,809 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.53 z score higher; p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of DCC.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Depression. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Depression. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Depression. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs149735550

What is rs149735550?

rs149735550 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCC gene. Published research associates it with depression. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs149735550 linked to?

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

Does having rs149735550 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 rs149735550 come from?

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