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 each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio compared to the general population.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11118316
What is rs11118316?
rs11118316 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LYPLAL1 gene. Published research associates it with visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs11118316 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 rs11118316 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2012, PMID:22589738. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
