What the study found

Who was studied 41,917 European ancestry cases, 371,549 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 0.94 times the odds of Bipolar disorder (95% confidence interval 0.92-0.96); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — between genes, 9.1 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. 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 Bipolar disorder. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6865469

What is rs6865469?

rs6865469 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOMER1 gene. Published research associates it with bipolar 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 rs6865469 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 rs6865469 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 rs6865469 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.
