Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glioblastoma — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glioblastoma.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glioblastoma compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2235573
What is rs2235573?
rs2235573 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC16A8 gene. Published research associates it with glioblastoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs2235573 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 rs2235573 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28346443. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
