What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cardiovascular disease risk factors compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, BMC Med Genet 2011, PMID:21943158)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cardiovascular disease risk factors. (GWAS Catalog, BMC Med Genet 2011, PMID:21943158)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cardiovascular disease risk factors — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, BMC Med Genet 2011, PMID:21943158)

Questions about rs11754288

What is rs11754288?

rs11754288 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC17A4 gene. Published research associates it with cardiovascular disease risk factors. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11754288 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 rs11754288 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC Med Genet 2011, PMID:21943158. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
