A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Alcohol consumption (drinks per week) (MTAG) compared to the general population.
A/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Alcohol consumption (drinks per week) (MTAG).
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Alcohol consumption (drinks per week) (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs8067440
What is rs8067440?
rs8067440 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NF1 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption (drinks per week) (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs8067440 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs8067440 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 rs8067440 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature neuroscience 2020, PMID:32451486. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
