Questions about rs7531806

What is rs7531806?

rs7531806 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SELL gene. Published research associates it with acne (severe). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7531806 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 rs7531806 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2014, PMID:24399259. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
