Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 20,352 European ancestry cases, 31,358 European ancestry controls; replicated in 9,412 European ancestry cases, 137,760 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — a missense change in SCN2A.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Seizures, benign familial infantile, 3, Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 11, Inborn genetic diseases, Complex neurodevelopmental disorder, Adrenocortical carcinoma, hereditary and 2 more; reviewed by expert panel (3 of 4 stars, 10 submitters), last evaluated 2024-05-07. ClinVar record 130224 NM_001040142.2(SCN2A):c.56G>A (p.Arg19Lys)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17183814

What is rs17183814?

rs17183814 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCN2A gene. Published research associates it with bipolar disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17183814 linked to?

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

Does having rs17183814 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 rs17183814 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31043756. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
