Questions about rs1885486

What is rs1885486?

rs1885486 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BMP6 gene. Published research associates it with height. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1885486 linked to?

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

Does having rs1885486 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 rs1885486 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23563607. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
