near ST8SIA4 · rs502652

What the study found

Who was studied 348,219 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0136 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0087-0.0184); p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.1 — between genes, 140.3 kb from ST8SIA4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs502652

What is rs502652?

rs502652 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ST8SIA4 gene. Published research associates it with worry. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs502652 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 rs502652 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29942085. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
