What the study found

Who was studied 57,564 European ancestry cases, 256,395 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.79 lower; p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q25.1 — in an intron of LINC02661.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7073987

What is rs7073987?

rs7073987 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02661 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol use 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 rs7073987 linked to?

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

Does having rs7073987 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 rs7073987 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature neuroscience 2020, PMID:32451486. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
