Triacylglycerol 58:8(FA20:3) (Model 1)

FADS2 · rs193250731

What the study found

Who was studied 7,260 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.35 higher; p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of FADS2.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol 58:8(FA20:3) (Model 1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol 58:8(FA20:3) (Model 1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Triacylglycerol 58:8(FA20:3) (Model 1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs193250731

What is rs193250731?

rs193250731 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FADS2 gene. Published research associates it with triacylglycerol 58:8(fa20:3) (model 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs193250731 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 rs193250731 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.
