Depression

MIR924HG · rs62099069

Where this position leads

Condition: Depression (Self-Reported Symptoms)

What the study found

Who was studied 135,458 European ancestry cases, 344,901 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Depression (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.04); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.2 — in an intron of MIR924HG.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Depression. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Depression. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two 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.

Questions about rs62099069

What is rs62099069?

rs62099069 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR924HG 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 rs62099069 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Depression (Self-Reported Symptoms). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs62099069 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 rs62099069 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29700475. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
