Questions about rs35988618

What is rs35988618?

rs35988618 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EYA1 gene. Published research associates it with heel bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs35988618 linked to?

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

Does having rs35988618 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 rs35988618 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30598549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
