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
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Vitamin B12 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Vitamin B12 levels.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Vitamin B12 levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs708686
What is rs708686?
rs708686 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FUT6 gene. Published research associates it with vitamin b12 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs708686 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 rs708686 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28334792. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
