What the study found

Who was studied 497,803 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.012 higher (95% confidence interval 0.008-0.016); p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.11 — between genes, 15.8 kb from TERF1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health questionnaire or predicted). 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 Post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health questionnaire or predicted). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health questionnaire or predicted). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6472716

What is rs6472716?

rs6472716 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TERF1 gene. Published research associates it with post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health questionnaire or predicted). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6472716 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6472716 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 rs6472716 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2022, PMID:35181757. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
