Although the intronic SNP implicated here (rs2300052) has not been studied in relation to autism, it is in high LD (r2 > 0.70) with all previously associated NRCAM-tagging SNPs (Bonora et al. 2005; Marui et al. 2008) based on HapMap data (The International HapMap Consortium 2007). The gene discussed is NRCAM; the disease is autism.
