What the study found

Who was studied 80,852 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0119 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0086-0.0151); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p23 — between genes, 48.8 kb from LINC03131.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72694240

What is rs72694240?

rs72694240 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC03131 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.

Does having rs72694240 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 rs72694240 come from?

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