C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia compared to the general population.

Questions about rs61472021
What is rs61472021?
rs61472021 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HFE gene. Published research associates it with autism spectrum disorder or 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 rs61472021 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 rs61472021 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 rs61472021 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Mol Autism 2017, PMID:28540026. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
