TSPYL5 · rs2045966

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Nicotine metabolite ratio in current smokers — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Cancer Res 2016, PMID:27488534)
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Nicotine metabolite ratio in current smokers. (GWAS Catalog, Cancer Res 2016, PMID:27488534)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Nicotine metabolite ratio in current smokers compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Cancer Res 2016, PMID:27488534)

Questions about rs2045966

What is rs2045966?

rs2045966 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TSPYL5 gene. Published research associates it with nicotine metabolite ratio in current smokers. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2045966 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 rs2045966 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer Res 2016, PMID:27488534. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
