Questions about rs149949

What is rs149949?

rs149949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR2B8 gene. Published research associates it with feeling guilty. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs149949 linked to?

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

Does having rs149949 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 rs149949 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29500382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
