Cholesteryl ester (24:6) levels

ELOVL2 · rs60376022

What the study found

Who was studied 6,057 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p24.2 — in an intron of ELOVL2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (24:6) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (24:6) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (24:6) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs60376022

What is rs60376022?

rs60376022 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELOVL2 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl ester (24:6) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs60376022 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 rs60376022 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
