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 Glycemic traits (pregnancy) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glycemic traits (pregnancy).
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glycemic traits (pregnancy) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6517656
What is rs6517656?
rs6517656 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BACE2 gene. Published research associates it with glycemic traits (pregnancy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs6517656 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 rs6517656 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2013, PMID:23903356. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
