Oily fish consumption

DEPDC5 · rs56915796

What the study found

Who was studied 446,854 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0193 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.024); p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.3 — in an intron of DEPDC5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Oily fish consumption. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Oily fish consumption. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Oily fish consumption. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs56915796

What is rs56915796?

rs56915796 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DEPDC5 gene. Published research associates it with oily fish consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56915796 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 rs56915796 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
