What the study found

Who was studied 449,484 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 6.88 z score higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 6 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.3 — in an intron of BMAL1.

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 rs7396943

What is rs7396943?

rs7396943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BMAL1 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 rs7396943 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 rs7396943 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 rs7396943 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29942085. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
