near RN7SKP19 · rs6424532

What the study found

Who was studied 113,769 British ancestry cases, 208,811 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0065 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0041-0.0089); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — between genes, 6.5 kb from RN7SKP19.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Depression (broad). 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 Depression (broad). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Depression (broad). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6424532

What is rs6424532?

rs6424532 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SKP19 gene. Published research associates it with depression (broad). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6424532 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 rs6424532 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2018, PMID:29662059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
