Questions about rs72804880

What is rs72804880?

rs72804880 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DPYSL5 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 rs72804880 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 rs72804880 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.
