Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the 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 (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Rotator cuff injury compared to the general population.

A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Rotator cuff injury.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Rotator cuff injury — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs71404070

What is rs71404070?

rs71404070 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDH8 gene. Published research associates it with rotator cuff injury. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs71404070 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 rs71404070 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:29228018. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
