Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — in an intron of GTF3C2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12991930

What is rs12991930?

rs12991930 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GTF3C2 gene. Published research associates it with polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12991930 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 rs12991930 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.
