RAB27B · rs8089474

What the study found

Who was studied 80,852 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0101 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0067-0.0134); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — inside RAB27B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Life satisfaction. 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 Life satisfaction. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Life satisfaction. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8089474

What is rs8089474?

rs8089474 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB27B gene. Published research associates it with life satisfaction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8089474 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 rs8089474 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
