Cholesteryl ester(20:4)_[M+NH4]1+ levels

FADS2 · rs10897180

What the study found

Who was studied 5,662 Pakistani ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.118 lower (95% confidence interval 0.098-0.138); p = 7 × 10−32.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in an intron of FADS2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester(20:4)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester(20:4)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester(20:4)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10897180

What is rs10897180?

rs10897180 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FADS2 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl ester(20:4)_[m+nh4]1+ levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10897180 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 rs10897180 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2021, PMID:34503513. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
