What the research says This variant is associated with neurociticism, reported effect size 5.92, p=3e-9 in about 380 thousand individuals [PMID 29500382]. It also links to neuroticism, p=6e-11 in about 372 thousand individuals [PMID 30595370]. It is associated with well-being spectrum, reported effect size 0.0065, p=1e-11 in about 2.1 million individuals [PMID 30643256].

Reported associations Neurociticism: This variant is associated with neurociticism, reported effect size 5.92, p=3e-9 in about 380 thousand individuals [PMID 29500382]. Neuroticism: This variant is associated with neuroticism, p=6e-11 in about 372 thousand individuals [PMID 30595370]. General factor of neuroticism: This variant is associated with general factor of neuroticism, reported effect size 0.01, p=8e-9 in about 270 thousand individuals [PMID 30867560]. Well-being spectrum: This variant is associated with well-being spectrum, reported effect size 0.0065, p=1e-11 in about 2.1 million individuals [PMID 30643256].

Evidence quality The evidence comes from four GWAS Catalog associations with effect sizes ranging from 0.01 to 5.92 and p-values between 3e-9 and 6e-11 in samples of roughly 270 thousand to 380 thousand individuals [PMID 29500382, 30595370, 30643256, 30867560]. No conflicting findings are reported.
