What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Common traits (Other) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20585627)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Common traits (Other). (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20585627)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Common traits (Other) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20585627)

Questions about rs17646946

What is rs17646946?

rs17646946 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCHH gene. Published research associates it with common traits (other). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs17646946?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include skin, sun and hair (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs17646946 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 rs17646946 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20585627. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
