What the study found

Who was studied 354,862 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.015 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of DCC.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8084351

What is rs8084351?

rs8084351 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCC gene. Published research associates it with depressive symptoms (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 rs8084351 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Depression (Self-Reported Symptoms). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs8084351 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 rs8084351 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29292387. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
