Questions about rs3217978

What is rs3217978?

rs3217978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDKN2B gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3217978 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs3217978 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 rs3217978 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Res 2017, PMID:29212778. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
