Docosahexaenoic acid levels

DRC1 · rs11691698

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 = 4 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — in an intron of DRC1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11691698

What is rs11691698?

rs11691698 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DRC1 gene. Published research associates it with docosahexaenoic acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11691698 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 rs11691698 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.
