Questions about rs6606710

What is rs6606710?

rs6606710 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO1H gene. Published research associates it with headache. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6606710 linked to?

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

Does having rs6606710 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 rs6606710 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2018, PMID:29397368. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
