Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.11 — between genes, 4.6 kb from NPIPA5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs141389344

What is rs141389344?

rs141389344 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NPIPA5 gene. Published research associates it with degree of unsaturation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs141389344 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 rs141389344 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.
