What the study found

Who was studied 388,538 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0136 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0091-0.0181); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — in an intron of LINC01470.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Subjective well-being. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Subjective well-being. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Subjective well-being. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6579956

What is rs6579956?

rs6579956 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01470 gene. Published research associates it with subjective well-being. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6579956 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 rs6579956 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 rs6579956 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29292387. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
