PTPRD · rs59761926
Where this position leads
Condition: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia (Shared Genetic Risk)
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
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 26,271 East Asian ancestry cases, 40,071 East Asian ancestry controls, 33,640 European ancestry cases, 43,456 European ancestry controls.
The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p23 — in an intron of PTPRD.
rs59761926 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTPRD 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.
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.
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.
