LINGO1 · rs7170398

Where this position leads

Condition: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

What the study found

Who was studied 80,852 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00805 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0056-0.0105); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.3 — inside LINGO1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Life satisfaction — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Life satisfaction.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Life satisfaction compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7170398

What is rs7170398?

rs7170398 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINGO1 gene. Published research associates it with life satisfaction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7170398 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7170398 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 rs7170398 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
