General risk tolerance (MTAG)

EP300 · rs75843224

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 975,353 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0196 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.025); p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — in an intron of EP300.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to General risk tolerance (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs75843224

What is rs75843224?

rs75843224 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EP300 gene. Published research associates it with general risk tolerance (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs75843224 linked to?

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

Does having rs75843224 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 rs75843224 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
