Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 704 European and East Asian ancestry lithium responder bipolar disorder cases, 1,662 European and East Asian ancestry lithium non-responder bipolar disorder controls, 36,989 schizophrenia cases, controls (see Ripke 2014 PMID:25056061)..

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — inside MIR9-2HG.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. 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 Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs324899

What is rs324899?

rs324899 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MEF2C gene. Published research associates it with bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs324899 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 rs324899 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 rs324899 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA Psychiatry 2017, PMID:29121268. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
