Who was studied 25,060 European ancestry cases, 449,978 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Bipolar I disorder (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.12); p = 1 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 78% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q14 — in an intron of LINC02694.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Bipolar I disorder compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Bipolar I disorder.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Bipolar I disorder — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6495988
What is rs6495988?
rs6495988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RASGRP1 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar i disorder. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6495988 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Bipolar Disorder. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6495988 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 rs6495988 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34002096. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
