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 Hepcidin/ferritin ratio compared to the general population.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hepcidin/ferritin ratio.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hepcidin/ferritin ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs79920061
What is rs79920061?
rs79920061 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC17A3 gene. Published research associates it with hepcidin/ferritin ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs79920061 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 rs79920061 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2016, PMID:27846281. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
