What the study found

Who was studied 38,691 European ancestry cases, 186,843 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 0.94 times the odds of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (95% confidence interval 0.93-0.96); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.22 — in an intron of LSM6.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6537401

What is rs6537401?

rs6537401 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LSM6 gene. Published research associates it with attention deficit hyperactivity 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 rs6537401 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6537401 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 rs6537401 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36702997. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
