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
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Homocysteine levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Clin Nutr 2013, PMID:23824729)
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Homocysteine levels. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Clin Nutr 2013, PMID:23824729)
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Homocysteine levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Clin Nutr 2013, PMID:23824729)

Questions about rs234709
What is rs234709?
rs234709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CBS gene. Published research associates it with homocysteine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs234709 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 rs234709 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Am J Clin Nutr 2013, PMID:23824729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
