Questions about rs2446422

What is rs2446422?

rs2446422 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GLDN gene. Published research associates it with calcaneal bone ultrasound measurement (speed of sound). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2446422 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 rs2446422 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Bone 2015, PMID:26686025. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
