DESI1 rs6002421: what the research says
This SNP is located in the DESI1 gene, which has been investigated for its potential role in cellular stress response pathways.
What each genotype means
Typical stress response profile
This genotype represents the homozygous state for the more common allele at this position in the DESI1 gene. Current research into this variant is ongoing, and while DESI1 is associated with cellular stress response pathways, there is no definitive evidence that this specific genotype confers a significant clinical advantage or risk. As with all genetic findings, this information should be viewed as a small part of your overall health picture.
Carried by approximately 75% of individuals in populations with a global minor allele frequency of 0.1318.
Heterozygous stress response variant
You carry one copy of the less common allele at this location in the DESI1 gene. While the DESI1 gene is involved in cellular stress response mechanisms, the functional impact of this specific variant remains under investigation. There is currently no clinical consensus on whether this genotype significantly alters stress response efficiency, and it should not be used to make medical decisions.
Carried by approximately 23% of individuals in populations with a global minor allele frequency of 0.1318.
Variant stress response profile
This genotype represents the homozygous state for the less common allele at this position in the DESI1 gene. Although this gene is linked to cellular stress response pathways, the clinical significance of this specific variant is not well-established in current scientific literature. This result does not indicate a known health condition, and any concerns regarding your health should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Carried by approximately 2% of individuals in populations with a global minor allele frequency of 0.1318.
