(Dick et al., 2009). Another GABRA2 SNP (rs9291283) was also associated with conduct disorder symptoms in participants from the Genetics of Antisocial Drug Dependence sample (Melroy et al., 2014). Of note, rs279871 and rs9291283 are in linkage equilibrium (r2 = 0.04) according to the CEU 1000 Genomes Phase I CEU reference panel. Thus, there may be more than one association signal for conduct disorder in GABRA2.
