Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 7,647 European ancestry cases, 27,303 European ancestry controls; replicated in 2,137 European ancestry cases, 3,168 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.13 times the odds of Bipolar disorder (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.17); p = 5 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q12 — in an intron of PGAP3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2517959

What is rs2517959?

rs2517959 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERBB2 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2517959 linked to?

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

Does having rs2517959 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 rs2517959 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2016, PMID:27329760. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
