near MC4R · rs62096058

What the study found

Who was studied 348,219 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0148 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0099-0.0198); p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.32 — between genes, 66.1 kb from RNU4-17P.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Worry. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Worry. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62096058

What is rs62096058?

rs62096058 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MC4R 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 rs62096058 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 rs62096058 come from?

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