Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
Strength of the evidence
1 / 4
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−15, with 4 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0386 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.048); p = 2 × 10−15.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Polyunsaturated fatty acids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Polyunsaturated fatty acids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Polyunsaturated fatty acids. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs291 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPL gene. Published research associates it with polyunsaturated fatty acids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs291 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 rs291 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
