What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Saturated fatty acids levels compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Saturated fatty acids levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Saturated fatty acids levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12547955

What is rs12547955?

rs12547955 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPP1R3B-DT gene. Published research associates it with saturated fatty acids levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12547955 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 rs12547955 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.
