What the study found

Who was studied 426 Mediterranean individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.16 lower (95% confidence interval 0.81-1.5); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.3 — between genes, 2.6 kb from C22orf42.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum linoleic acid concentration in metabolic syndrome. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Serum linoleic acid concentration in metabolic syndrome. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Serum linoleic acid concentration in metabolic syndrome. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs5994479

What is rs5994479?

rs5994479 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C22orf42 gene. Published research associates it with serum linoleic acid concentration in metabolic syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs5994479 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Metabolic Syndrome. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs5994479 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 rs5994479 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nutrients 2020, PMID:31991592. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
