Who was studied 25,060 European ancestry cases, 449,978 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.15 times the odds of Bipolar I disorder (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.19); p = 1 × 10−9.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — between genes, 4.8 kb from H3C8.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Bipolar I disorder compared to the general population.
A/CPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Bipolar I disorder.
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Bipolar I disorder — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs55706012
What is rs55706012?
rs55706012 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near H3C8 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar i disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs55706012 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Bipolar Disorder. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs55706012 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 rs55706012 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34002096. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
