What the study found

Who was studied at least 380,000 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00532 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0035-0.0072); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.3 — between genes, 23.3 kb from LINGO1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8039690

What is rs8039690?

rs8039690 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINGO1 gene. Published research associates it with neuroticism general factor. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8039690 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 rs8039690 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 rs8039690 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychology 2023, PMID:37783279. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
