Rs4646

Meaning

Rs4646 is a specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP), a common type of genetic variation, located within the gene encoding for the aromatase enzyme, also known as CYP19A1. This particular SNP is an identifier used in genetic research to denote a variation in a single DNA base pair at a specific location on chromosome 15. Variations at the Rs4646 locus have been studied for their potential influence on aromatase enzyme activity, which is the crucial step in converting androgens into estrogens.
