Stands on its own.

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
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Wilms tumor — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22544364)
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Wilms tumor. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22544364)
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Wilms tumor compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22544364)

Questions about rs5955543
What is rs5955543?
rs5955543 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NHS gene. Published research associates it with wilms tumor. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs5955543 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 rs5955543 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22544364. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
