Questions about rs6017427

What is rs6017427?

rs6017427 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RIMS4 gene. Published research associates it with breakfast cereal skipping frequency. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6017427 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 rs6017427 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The American journal of clinical nutrition 2019, PMID:31190057. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
