Positive affect

near CT66 · rs2865116

What the study found

Who was studied 410,603 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0139 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0095-0.0183); p = 5 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.22 — between genes, 14.5 kb from CT66.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2865116

What is rs2865116?

rs2865116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CT66 gene. Published research associates it with positive affect. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2865116 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 rs2865116 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
