What the study found

Who was studied 145,669 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.066 lower (95% confidence interval 0.042-0.09); p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.33 — in an intron of GRM8.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17683174

What is rs17683174?

rs17683174 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GRM8 gene. Published research associates it with neuroticism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17683174 linked to?

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

Does having rs17683174 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 rs17683174 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychiatry 2023, PMID:36244801. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
