Questions about rs545979

What is rs545979?

rs545979 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POL1 gene. Published research associates it with psoriasis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs545979 linked to?

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

Does having rs545979 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 rs545979 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:23143594. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
