rs8051733
MTAPrs8051733 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MTAP gene. Genespiral reads it in the Appearance analysis to describe Mole Count.

An rsID such as rs8051733 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, GA, AA. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so GA 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.
Mole Count
Skin Traits · Part of the Appearance analysis
Associated with the number of moles on the skin.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| GG | More Moles |
| GA | Average Number |
| AG | Average Number |
| AA | Fewer Moles |
- Summary
- Variations can affect mole density.
- Scientific insights
- Individuals with 'GG' may have a higher number of moles.
- Lifestyle tips
- Regular skin checks are recommended for those with many moles.
