Cannabis use disorder (MTAG)

MAGI2 · rs62461186

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 200,762 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by alcohol use disorder and nicotine dependence samples).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.026 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.034); p = 5 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.11 — in an intron of MAGI2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cannabis use disorder (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Cannabis use disorder (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cannabis use disorder (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62461186

What is rs62461186?

rs62461186 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAGI2 gene. Published research associates it with cannabis use disorder (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62461186 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 rs62461186 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37985822. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
