Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 53,386 European ancestry cases, 77,258 European ancestry controls, 14,004 East Asian ancestry cases, 16,757 East Asian ancestry controls, 6,152 African American cases, 3,918 African American controls, 1,234 Latino cases, 3,090 Latino controls; replicated in 1,979 European ancestry cases, 142,626 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Schizophrenia (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of CACNA2D2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2236989

What is rs2236989?

rs2236989 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNA2D2 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 rs2236989 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia (Shared Genetic Risk). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2236989 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 rs2236989 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:35396580. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
