Suicidal thoughts and behaviors

ESR1 · rs3757323

What the study found

Who was studied 75,941 European ancestry cases, 376,826 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — in an intron of ESR1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2019-08-10. ClinVar record 1292687 NM_000125.4(ESR1):c.760+101T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3757323

What is rs3757323?

rs3757323 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ESR1 gene. Published research associates it with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3757323 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 rs3757323 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA psychiatry 2023, PMID:36515925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
