Questions about rs12500579

What is rs12500579?

rs12500579 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANK2 gene. Published research associates it with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12500579 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 rs12500579 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2013, PMID:24315451. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
