Cholesteryl esters (FA20:3) (Model 2)

PARN · rs72787676

What the study found

Who was studied 7,126 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.122 higher; p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.12 — in an intron of PARN.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters (FA20:3) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters (FA20:3) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters (FA20:3) (Model 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72787676

What is rs72787676?

rs72787676 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PARN gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl esters (fa20:3) (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 rs72787676 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 rs72787676 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.
