This trait reflects a UK Biobank self-report item about how often someone feels miserable, used in broader mood research.
GWAS work has identified variants linked to this self-report, with overlap with neuroticism and depression.
This result reflects research-level variation in mood-related traits and is not a clinical assessment.
Sleep, stress, life events, mental health support, and current context strongly shape day-to-day mood.

Average genetic tendency
This is a weak, population-level genetic association, not a personal diagnosis or a definitive trait.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
The following peer-reviewed scientific studies support the genetic associations analyzed in this report.
