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

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Youthful appearance (self-reported) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Invest Dermatol 2020, PMID:32339537)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Youthful appearance (self-reported). (GWAS Catalog, J Invest Dermatol 2020, PMID:32339537)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Youthful appearance (self-reported) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Invest Dermatol 2020, PMID:32339537)

Questions about rs9896202

What is rs9896202?

rs9896202 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CBX8 gene. Published research associates it with youthful appearance (self-reported). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9896202 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 rs9896202 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Invest Dermatol 2020, PMID:32339537. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
