Overview

rs1294421 is a genetic variant.

This variant is located on chromosome 6. The variations at position 6742916 are the genetic letters A/A, C/C, G/G, T/T, A/C, C/G, G/T, A/T, A/G, C/T

Since humans have each twice (one from each parent), these letter-variations occur on both chromosomes. People can have the same or different letters on both chromosomes. Every person's individual variation combination is referred to as genotype. For variant rs1294421 there are 10 currently known genotypes : A/A, C/C, G/G, T/T, A/C, C/G, G/T, A/T, A/G or C/T

Did you know genetic variants affect drugs?

Mutations are changes in genes and genetic variations are differences in the DNA among people. Variants are tiny changes in just one piece of the DNA while haplotypes are groups of these changes that usually come together.

Genotype Distribution

Knowing your genome can actually tell you a lot about your ancestors.

The prevalence of the different genotypes is based on the native inhabitants of a region. In the map below you see how common each genotype is in the native inhabitants of those regions. Since genetic material is passed down form generation to generation, your DNA shows traces of the geographical origins of your ancestors.

This data is based on “The 1000 Genomes Project” which established one of the most detailed overviews of human genetic variations across the globe. The regions are broadly categorized into five continental groups: Africa, America, Europe, South Asia and East Asia. All continental groups together display the global prevalence. Click through the regions, to learn more about the local prevalence of the possible genotypes.

At present, there is no distribution data available for SNP 1294421. 1294421.
