Questions about rs58394161

What is rs58394161?

rs58394161 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GFI1 gene. Published research associates it with multiple sclerosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs58394161 linked to?

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

Does having rs58394161 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 rs58394161 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2019, PMID:31604244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
