Your traits
Simple traits come from a handful of variants each. Complex traits are estimated from many variants at once and shown as a percentile with an uncertainty band.
You are viewing an example.

Academic notes
These notes describe specific genetic variants studied in published research, most often in connection with schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease. They report a published odds ratio for large groups of people, not a personal likelihood for any individual. They are provided for education only, are not a diagnosis, and must not be used on their own to make a health decision. Talk with a clinician or genetic counselor before acting on anything shown here.
APOE genotype
Your genotype: e3/e4
Carries one epsilon4 allele. Farrer et al. 1997 report an odds ratio of roughly 2 to 3 for late onset Alzheimer's disease relative to e3/e3, varying by age, sex, and ancestry.
Corder EH, Saunders AM, Strittmatter WJ, et al. "Gene dose of apolipoprotein E type 4 allele and the risk of Alzheimer's disease in late onset families." Science. 1993;261(5123):921 to 923. Effect sizes from Farrer LA, Cupples LA, Haines JL, et al. JAMA. 1997;278(16):1349 to 1356.
ZNF804A genotype (schizophrenia)
Your genotype: 1 copy of C
Carries one copy of the rs1344706 risk allele (C); O'Donovan et al. 2008 report a per allele odds ratio of about 1.12 for schizophrenia, a small effect at the individual level.

NRG1 genotype (schizophrenia)
Your genotype: 1 copy of T
Carries one copy of the rs6994992 allele flagged in the original NRG1 at risk haplotype (Stefansson et al. 2002); replication across populations has been inconsistent.
Stefansson H, Sigurdsson E, Steinthorsdottir V, et al. "Neuregulin 1 and susceptibility to schizophrenia." Am J Hum Genet. 2002;71(4):877 to 892.
MIR137 genotype (schizophrenia)
Your genotype: 1 copy of T
Carries one copy of the rs1625579 risk allele (T); the PGC 2011 study reports a per allele odds ratio of about 1.12 for schizophrenia, a small effect at the individual level.

Genetic scores explain only part of any trait, and their accuracy varies by ancestry. Talk to a clinician or genetic counselor before making decisions based on this information.
