Depressed affect

VWC2L · rs17711053

What the study found

Who was studied 357,957 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0184 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.025); p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q35 — in an intron of VWC2L.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17711053

What is rs17711053?

rs17711053 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VWC2L gene. Published research associates it with depressed affect. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17711053 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 rs17711053 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.
