Sterol ester (27:1/20:4) levels

near SCGB2A1 · rs193173612

What the study found

Who was studied 4,642 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.318 higher (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.41); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.3 — between genes, 4.6 kb from SCGB2A1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Sterol ester (27:1/20:4) levels. 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 Sterol ester (27:1/20:4) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Sterol ester (27:1/20:4) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs193173612

What is rs193173612?

rs193173612 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SCGB2A1 gene. Published research associates it with sterol ester (27:1/20:4) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs193173612 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 rs193173612 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2022, PMID:36193934. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
