Questions about rs62056931

What is rs62056931?

rs62056931 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02210-CRHR1 gene. Published research associates it with number of sexual partners in opposite-sex sexual behavior. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62056931 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 rs62056931 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2021, PMID:34426668. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
