What the study found

Who was studied 239,268 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 6 × 10−67.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — in an intron of CETP.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7203984

What is rs7203984?

rs7203984 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP gene. Published research associates it with omega-6 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 rs7203984 affect how medicines work?

CETP carries pharmacogenomic findings for Statins. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs7203984 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 rs7203984 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.
