What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated 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.

Questions about rs2165557

What is rs2165557?

rs2165557 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LPL gene. Published research associates it with monounsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2165557 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 rs2165557 come from?

GWAS Catalog, HGG advances 2025, PMID:40545721. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
