Questions about rs1724409

What is rs1724409?

rs1724409 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MGC57346-CRHR1 gene. Published research associates it with bitter alcoholic beverage consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1724409 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 rs1724409 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:31046077. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
