CD36 protein levels

SATB1 · rs71312170

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0882 higher (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.112); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.3 — in an intron of SATB1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of CD36 protein levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with CD36 protein levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of CD36 protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs71312170

What is rs71312170?

rs71312170 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SATB1 gene. Published research associates it with cd36 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs71312170 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 rs71312170 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
