Plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (docosapentaenoic acid)

RAB3IL1 · rs174468

What the study found

Who was studied 8,866 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.04 % higher; p = 3 × 10−35.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — between genes, 1 kb from RAB3IL1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (docosapentaenoic acid). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (docosapentaenoic acid). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (docosapentaenoic acid). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs174468

What is rs174468?

rs174468 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB3IL1 gene. Published research associates it with plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (docosapentaenoic acid). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs174468 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 rs174468 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2011, PMID:21829377. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
