What the study found

Who was studied at least 33,640 European ancestry cases, at least 43,456 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0916 lower (95% confidence interval 0.059-0.124); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q25.2 — between genes, 13.8 kb from LINC01645.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17659437

What is rs17659437?

rs17659437 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01645 gene. Published research associates it with schizophrenia (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17659437 linked to?

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

Does having rs17659437 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 rs17659437 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Translational psychiatry 2021, PMID:33479212. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
