What the study found

Who was studied 704 European and East Asian ancestry lithium responder bipolar disorder cases, 1,662 European and East Asian ancestry lithium non-responder bipolar disorder controls, 36,989 schizophrenia cases, controls (see Ripke 2014 PMID:25056061)..

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of CMAHP.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. 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 Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Bipolar disorder lithium response (categorical) or schizophrenia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

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 rs6942227 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.
