This gene is closely linked to DRD2 gene (GeneID:1813) on chr 11, and a well studied restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) designated TaqIA, was originally associated with the DRD2 gene, however, later was determined to be located in exon 8 of ANKK1 gene (PMIDs: 18621654, 15146457), where it causes a nonconservative amino acid substitution. It is not clear if this gene plays any role in neuropsychiatric disorders previously associated with Taq1A RFLP. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] Annotation information Note: A frequently studied SNP, known as TaqI DRD2 (rs1800497), was originally associated with the DRD2 gene (GeneID 1813) but was later found to be located within exon 8 of the adjacent gene, ANKK1 (GeneID 255239). The location of rs1800497 is not always specified within publications. Publications may be associated with either locus or with both loci in order to point out the relationship of rs1800497 to both loci.
