Questions about rs7017756

What is rs7017756?

rs7017756 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CSGALNACT1 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 rs7017756 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 rs7017756 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.
