What the study found

Who was studied 24,171 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 83,059 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.126 lower (95% confidence interval 0.087-0.165); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — between genes, 0.1 kb from APOA5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17120035

What is rs17120035?

rs17120035 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APOA5 gene. Published research associates it with metabolic syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17120035 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Metabolic Syndrome. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs17120035 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 rs17120035 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nutrients 2023, PMID:38201907. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
