Questions about rs2073498

What is rs2073498?

rs2073498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RASSF1 gene. Published research associates it with feeling worry. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2073498 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 rs2073498 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29500382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
