What the study found

Who was studied 164,933 European ancestry major depressive disorder cases, 20,352 European ancestry bipolar disorder cases, 439,741 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.04); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.11 — in an intron of PCLO.

What each result means

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

What is rs34866621?

rs34866621 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCLO gene. Published research associates it with bipolar disorder or major depressive 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 rs34866621 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 rs34866621 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.
