Degree of unsaturation

DAGLA · rs2240285

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−29, with 57 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 239,268 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 8 × 10−30.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in an intron of DAGLA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Degree of unsaturation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Degree of unsaturation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Degree of unsaturation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
