Effect of Variations on the WRAP53
Variants are common variations in genes that can significantly impact the health and traits of an individual. This section shows all variants that are located on WRAP53, as well as their associated conditions, traits and drugs.
Did you know that gene anomalies are relatively common?
On average, each person has approximately 100 to 400 genes with variations or mutations (with different genes being affected in different individuals). However, in most cases, the matching gene on the other chromosome in the pair is normal, which helps prevent potential negative effects. In the general population, the likelihood of an individual inheriting two copies of the same abnormal gene—and thus developing a genetic disorder—is very low. However, this risk increases significantly for children of parents who are closely related by blood.

Conditions caused and influenced by WRAP53
Genetic abnormalities can affect the chance of developing a condition by raising or lowering the risk. They can change how a gene works, leading to faulty or missing proteins. However, even with a higher genetic risk, a condition may not develop because factors like environment and lifestyle also have an impact.
Variants located on WRAP53
The genetic code of a gene is virtually identical between differen people. Only a few individual letters differ from one person to the next.
Did you know genetic variations may affect drugs?
Genetic differences can affect how our body reacts to drugs. Some genes can make a drug work better or worse, and others can change how safe it is or how much of it you need.
