In genetics, rs5569 is a genetic variant.
It is a single nucleotide polymorphism in the SLC6A2 gene in exon 9.
This gene codes the norepinephrine transporter.
The SNP is a silent substitution and
the nucleotides of both variants code a threonine amino acid.
Several research studies have examined the effect of the variant in relation to alcohol dependence,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
diabetes,
major depressive disorder,
panic disorder,
Tourette syndrome
and personality traits.
None of the studies have found an association.
