The genetic architecture of fibromyalgia across 2.5 million individuals
Fibromyalgia is a common, debilitating chronic pain syndrome whose cause has been poorly understood. This multi-ancestry meta-analysis covers 2,563,755 people from 11 cohorts — 54,629 with fibromyalgia and 2,509,126 without — and finds 26 risk loci. The strongest association is a coding variant in HTT, the gene that causes Huntington's disease; gene prioritisation also points to the HTT regulator GPR52 and to genes with neural roles (DCC, DRD2/NCAM1, MDGA2, CELF4). Heritability was enriched exclusively in brain tissues and neural cell types, and fibromyalgia correlated genetically above 0.7 with low back pain, post-traumatic stress disorder and irritable bowel syndrome. Despite the large difference in prevalence between the sexes, the genetic architecture was nearly identical in males and females. The authors read this as genetic evidence that fibromyalgia is a disorder of the central nervous system. Three of the study's positions are on this site under other traits: rs9862795 (near CAMKV), rs809955 (MAML3) and rs11167957 (PPP2R2B). PMID:42521817.
rs9862795 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CAMKV gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

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.
