Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 370,711 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0174 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.022); p = 5 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — in an intron of MAGOH-DT.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Number of sexual partners compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Number of sexual partners.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Number of sexual partners — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17785382

What is rs17785382?

rs17785382 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRP8 gene. Published research associates it with number of sexual partners. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17785382 linked to?

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

Does having rs17785382 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 rs17785382 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
