near GADD45G · rs62559571

What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.02 % higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 2 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.2 — between genes, 48 kb from GADD45G.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62559571

What is rs62559571?

rs62559571 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GADD45G gene. Published research associates it with omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62559571 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 rs62559571 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
