Who was studied at least 5,919 European ancestry cases, at least 130,691 European ancestry controls; replicated in 634,037 European ancestry cases, 1,308,690 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.013 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0079-0.018); p = 7 × 10−9.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 7.3 kb from MFHAS1.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Depression. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Depression. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Depression. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs609958 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11 gene. Published research associates it with depression. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs609958 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Endometriosis and Depression: Shared Genetics. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs609958 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 rs609958 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2021, PMID:33859377. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
