Frequently asked questions

What does rs11192230 do?

It lowers SORCS3 levels in the adrenal gland and artery tibial tissue.

Is this variant linked to any disease?

The GWAS shows an association with neuropsychiatric disorders but it is not a diagnostic test.

Can I change my expression of SORCS3?

No, the SNP only affects gene activity and does not allow direct changes.
