A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Schizophrenia compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2014, PMID:25056061)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Schizophrenia. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2014, PMID:25056061)

Questions about rs8044995
What is rs8044995?
rs8044995 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACD gene. Published research associates it with schizophrenia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs8044995 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Schizophrenia. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs8044995 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 rs8044995 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2014, PMID:25056061. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
