What the study found

Who was studied 239,268 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — between genes, 6.5 kb from LINC02954.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Omega-3 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
