Questions about rs509360

What is rs509360?

rs509360 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYRF gene. Published research associates it with plasma omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels (alphalinolenic acid). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs509360 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 rs509360 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes Nutr 2015, PMID:26584805. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
