Saturated fatty acids levels

GTF3C2 · rs36036730

What the study found

Who was studied 128,922 European ancestry females.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — in an intron of GTF3C2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Saturated fatty acids 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 Saturated fatty acids levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Saturated fatty acids levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs36036730

What is rs36036730?

rs36036730 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GTF3C2 gene. Published research associates it with saturated fatty acids levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs36036730 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 rs36036730 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.
