Where this position leads
Condition: Schizophrenia
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 2 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 592 Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry cases, 505 Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry controls, 36,989 cases, 113,075 controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.15 times the odds of Schizophrenia; p = 3 × 10−8.

rs79212538 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NMUR2 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 Schizophrenia. 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.
