What each result means

A/A 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.
A/C 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.
C/C 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 rs174577

What is rs174577?

rs174577 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FADS2 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 rs174577 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 rs174577 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.
