Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (arachidonic acid)

MYRF · rs174528

What the study found

Who was studied 717 Singaporean Chinese ancestry myocardial infarction cases, 644 Singaporean Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.209 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.23); p = 2 × 10−65.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in an intron of MYRF.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2021-05-13. ClinVar record 1225263 NM_001127392.3(MYRF):c.1312-29T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (arachidonic acid). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (arachidonic acid). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (arachidonic acid). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs174528

What is rs174528?

rs174528 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYRF gene. Published research associates it with plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (arachidonic acid). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs174528 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 rs174528 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes Nutr 2015, PMID:26584805. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
