Help-seeking from a GP

near TMEM106B · rs3807866

What the study found

Who was studied 113,262 British ancestry cases, 219,360 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Help-seeking from a GP (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.05); p = 5 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p21.3 — between genes, 0.3 kb from TMEM106B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Help-seeking from a GP. 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 Help-seeking from a GP. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Help-seeking from a GP. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3807866

What is rs3807866?

rs3807866 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM106B gene. Published research associates it with help-seeking from a gp. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3807866 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 rs3807866 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32231276. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
