TYR · rs1126809

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sunburns — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sunburns.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sunburns compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1126809

What is rs1126809?

rs1126809 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TYR gene. Published research associates it with sunburns. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs1126809?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include skin, sun and hair (5 papers), short-sightedness and screens (4 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs1126809 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 rs1126809 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23548203. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
