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.
What the study found
Who was studied 128,922 European ancestry females.
The effect
The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — in an intron of PEMT.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Linoleic acid to total fatty acids percentage. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Linoleic acid to total fatty acids percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Linoleic acid to total fatty acids percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs1108579 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PEMT gene. Published research associates it with linoleic acid to total fatty acids percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs1108579 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 rs1108579 come from?
GWAS Catalog, HGG advances 2025, PMID:40545721. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
