rs6746030
SCN9Ars6746030 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the SCN9A gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sensory Processing analysis to describe Pain Sensitivity.

- 1 trait across 1 analysis
An rsID such as rs6746030 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of GG, AG, AA. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so AG and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
