Questions about rs1112718

What is rs1112718?

rs1112718 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HHEX gene. Published research associates it with multiple sclerosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1112718 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Multiple Sclerosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs1112718?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs1112718 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 rs1112718 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2019, PMID:31604244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
