Depressive symptoms (MTAG)

LINC01470 · rs4460127

What the study found

Who was studied 354,862 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0127 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0082-0.0172); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — in an intron of LINC01470.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Depressive symptoms (MTAG). 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 Depressive symptoms (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Depressive symptoms (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4460127

What is rs4460127?

rs4460127 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01470 gene. Published research associates it with depressive symptoms (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4460127 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 rs4460127 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29292387. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
