What the study found

Who was studied 258,364 European ancestry cases, 571,252 European ancestry controls, 36,818 African ancestry cases, 161,679 African ancestry controls, 21,980 East Asian ancestry cases, 360,956 East Asian ancestry controls, 4,505 South Asian ancestry cases, 27,176 South Asian ancestry controls, 25,013 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 352,946 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0216 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.028); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.2 — in an intron of IGSF6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder (broad). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder (broad). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Major depressive disorder (broad). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3091404

What is rs3091404?

rs3091404 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGSF6 gene. Published research associates it with major depressive disorder (broad). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3091404 linked to?

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

Does having rs3091404 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 rs3091404 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38177345. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
