Questions about rs55893771

What is rs55893771?

rs55893771 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELFN1 gene. Published research associates it with feeling miserable. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs55893771 linked to?

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

Does having rs55893771 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 rs55893771 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29500382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
