What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Alcohol dependence (age at onset) — 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 Alcohol dependence (age at onset).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Alcohol dependence (age at onset) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2168784

What is rs2168784?

rs2168784 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SI gene. Published research associates it with alcohol dependence (age at onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs2168784?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2168784 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.
