Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2)

TMEM258 · rs61896141

What the study found

Who was studied 6,201 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.224 lower; p = 7 × 10−21.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of TMEM258.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61896141

What is rs61896141?

rs61896141 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM258 gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylcholines (18:2/20:2) (model 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61896141 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 rs61896141 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
