What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hair morphology. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hair morphology. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Hair morphology. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10788819

What is rs10788819?

rs10788819 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AL450992.4 gene. Published research associates it with hair morphology. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10788819 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs10788819 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2009, PMID:19896111. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
