Biologically Significant Variants
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism Species:  Human Amino acid change:  V313L Global MAF (%):  11 Subpopulation MAF (%):  AFR|AMR|ASN|EUR: 36|3|8|2 Minor allele count:  C=0.113/247 SNP accession:  rs323871 Validation:  1000 Genomes, HapMap, Frequency
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism Species:  Human Amino acid change:  S365R Global MAF (%):  1 Subpopulation MAF (%):  AFR: 5 Minor allele count:  G=0.011/24 Comment on frequency:  Low frequency (<10% in all tested populations) SNP accession:  rs116027996 Validation:  1000 Genomes, Frequency

General Comments
GPR62 has higher expression in the brain, indicating its cognate ligand may be a neurotransmitter [1].
