Monounsaturated fatty acid levels

LPAL2 · rs571962116

What the study found

Who was studied 239,268 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−24.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.3 — inside LPAL2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated fatty acid levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated fatty acid levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Monounsaturated fatty acid levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs571962116

What is rs571962116?

rs571962116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPAL2 gene. Published research associates it with monounsaturated fatty acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs571962116 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 rs571962116 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.
