What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (linoleic acid) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2014, PMID:24823311)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (linoleic acid). (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2014, PMID:24823311)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (linoleic acid) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2014, PMID:24823311)

Questions about rs2727270

What is rs2727270?

rs2727270 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FTH1 gene. Published research associates it with plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (linoleic acid). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs2727270?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include fertility (1 papers), infection and immunity (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2727270 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2727270 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2014, PMID:24823311. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
