rs34357723 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FANCA gene. Published research associates it with red vs. brown/black hair color. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs34357723 linked to?

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

Does having rs34357723 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.
