A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Moyamoya disease compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Moyamoya disease.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Moyamoya disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs9907978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNF213 gene. Published research associates it with moyamoya disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs9907978 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Moyamoya Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs9907978 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 rs9907978 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Stroke 2017, PMID:29273593. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
