near RNU6-1243P · rs12799580

What the study found

Who was studied 115,006 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.121 higher (95% confidence interval 0.092-0.151); p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.3 — between genes, 2.5 kb from RNU6-1243P.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12799580

What is rs12799580?

rs12799580 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-1243P gene. Published research associates it with ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12799580 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 rs12799580 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS biology 2022, PMID:35213538. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
