What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1979679
What is rs1979679?
rs1979679 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCDC91 gene. Published research associates it with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs1979679 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 rs1979679 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2014, PMID:25064007. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
