What the study found

Who was studied up to 53,293 European ancestry Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder individuals, up to 164,684 European ancestry problematic alcohol use individuals, up to 186,875 European ancestry lifetime cannabis use individuals, up to 357,187 European ancestry individuals measuring reverse-coded age at first sexual intercourse, up to 336,121 European ancestry individuals measuring number of sexual partners, up to 426,379 European ancestry individuals measuring general risk tolerance, up to 1,251,809 European ancestry individuals measuring lifetime smoking initiation.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.007 lower (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.009); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p11.21 — between genes, 87.7 kb from MTND5P17.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Externalizing behaviour (multivariate analysis) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Externalizing behaviour (multivariate analysis).

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Externalizing behaviour (multivariate analysis) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2796793

What is rs2796793?

rs2796793 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MTND5P17 gene. Published research associates it with externalizing behaviour (multivariate analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2796793 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 rs2796793 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature neuroscience 2021, PMID:34446935. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
