Loneliness (MTAG)

NMUR2 · rs7737302

What the study found

Who was studied 487,647 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0134 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0088-0.0179); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — between genes, 58 kb from LINC01933.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Loneliness (MTAG) compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Loneliness (MTAG).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Loneliness (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7737302

What is rs7737302?

rs7737302 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NMUR2 gene. Published research associates it with loneliness (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7737302 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 rs7737302 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29970889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
