DIP2B · rs7968440

Where this position leads

Condition: Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Fibrinogen compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Fibrinogen.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Fibrinogen — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7968440

What is rs7968440?

rs7968440 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DIP2B gene. Published research associates it with fibrinogen. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7968440 linked to?

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

Does having rs7968440 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 rs7968440 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2013, PMID:23969696. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
