What the study found

Who was studied 173 African American male cases, 1,096 African American male controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 4.25 times the odds of Hospitalization rate in serious mental illnesses (95% confidence interval 2.545-7.09); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — in an intron of EBF2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Hospitalization rate in serious mental illnesses. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hospitalization rate in serious mental illnesses. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hospitalization rate in serious mental illnesses. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs79328154

What is rs79328154?

rs79328154 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBF2 gene. Published research associates it with hospitalization rate in serious mental illnesses. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79328154 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 rs79328154 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in psychiatry 2024, PMID:38469033. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
