What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid).
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Plasma omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs174534
What is rs174534?
rs174534 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 (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs174534 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 rs174534 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.
