Alcohol dependence or heroin dependence or methamphetamine dependence

ANKS1B · rs2133896

What the study found

Who was studied 521 Han Chinese ancestry alcohol dependence cases, 1,026 Han Chinese ancestry heroin dependence cases, 1,749 Han Chinese ancestry methamphetamine dependence cases, 2,859 Han Chinese ancestry controls; replicated in 146 Han Chinese ancestry alcohol dependence cases, 1,045 Han Chinese ancestry heroin dependence cases, 763 Han Chinese ancestry methamphetamine dependence cases, 1,904 Han Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.104 higher (95% confidence interval 0.069-0.139); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.1 — in an intron of ANKS1B.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol dependence or heroin dependence or methamphetamine dependence. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol dependence or heroin dependence or methamphetamine dependence. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Alcohol dependence or heroin dependence or methamphetamine dependence. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2133896

What is rs2133896?

rs2133896 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANKS1B gene. Published research associates it with alcohol dependence or heroin dependence or methamphetamine dependence. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2133896 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 rs2133896 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2021, PMID:31462767. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
