Overview

rs12979860 is a genetic variant.

This variant is located on chromosome 19. The variations at position 39248147 are the genetic letters C/C, G/G, T/T, C/G, G/T, 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 rs12979860 there are 6 currently known genotypes : C/C, G/G, T/T, C/G, G/T 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.
