Questions about rs17457340

What is rs17457340?

rs17457340 is a single position in the genome, in or near the JAG1 gene. Published research associates it with heel bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17457340 linked to?

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

Does having rs17457340 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 rs17457340 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28869591. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
