Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2)

MYRF · rs174532

What the study found

Who was studied 6,201 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.186 lower; p = 7 × 10−21.

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 1257534 NM_001127392.3(MYRF):c.2764+73G>A

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

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). 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 Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs174532

What is rs174532?

rs174532 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYRF gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (model 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs174532 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 rs174532 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
