Triacylglycerol(56:5)_[M+NH4]1+ levels

PNPLA3 · rs16991175

What the study found

Who was studied 5,662 Pakistani ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0832 lower (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.1); p = 3 × 10−22.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.31 — in an intron of PNPLA3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol(56:5)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol(56:5)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol(56:5)_[M+NH4]1+ levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs16991175

What is rs16991175?

rs16991175 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PNPLA3 gene. Published research associates it with triacylglycerol(56:5)_[m+nh4]1+ levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16991175 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 rs16991175 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2021, PMID:34503513. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
