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 Butyrylcholinesterase levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Butyrylcholinesterase levels.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Butyrylcholinesterase levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs4950806
What is rs4950806?
rs4950806 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNPEP gene. Published research associates it with butyrylcholinesterase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs4950806 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 rs4950806 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2011, PMID:21862451. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
