Questions about rs2099016

What is rs2099016?

rs2099016 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL13AP21 gene. Published research associates it with drinks per week. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2099016 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 rs2099016 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36477530. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
