What the study found

Who was studied 329,821 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 122,867 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 5.76 higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — a missense change in TRIM39-RPP21.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6986

What is rs6986?

rs6986 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNL1 gene. Published research associates it with neuroticism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6986 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Neuroticism. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6986 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 rs6986 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:29255261. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
