GATB · rs182921948

What the study found

Who was studied 30,283 African ancestry cases, 90,835 African ancestry controls.

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

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.3 — in an intron of GATB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs182921948

What is rs182921948?

rs182921948 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GATB gene. Published research associates it with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs182921948 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 rs182921948 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA psychiatry 2023, PMID:36515925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
