Monounsaturated fatty acid levels

near APOB · rs1317821

What the study found

Who was studied 128,922 European ancestry females.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — between genes, 11.1 kb from APOB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1317821

What is rs1317821?

rs1317821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APOB gene. Published research associates it with monounsaturated fatty 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 rs1317821 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 rs1317821 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.
