Depressed affect

GABBR1 · rs28893517

What the study found

Who was studied 357,957 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0285 higher (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.037); p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of GABBR1.

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 rs28893517

What is rs28893517?

rs28893517 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GABBR1 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 rs28893517 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 rs28893517 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.
