What the study found

Who was studied 270,059 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0075 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0048-0.0102); p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.33 — in an intron of GRM8.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Worry/vulnerability (special factor of neuroticism). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Worry/vulnerability (special factor of neuroticism). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Worry/vulnerability (special factor of neuroticism). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4731328

What is rs4731328?

rs4731328 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GRM8 gene. Published research associates it with worry/vulnerability (special factor of neuroticism). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4731328 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Neuroticism. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4731328 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 rs4731328 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2020, PMID:30867560. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
