near OR8H2 · rs72919599

What the study found

Who was studied 6,724 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.263 higher; p = 5 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.1 — between genes, 3.4 kb from OR8H2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triacylglycerol 36:0(FA12:0) (Model 1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triacylglycerol 36:0(FA12:0) (Model 1).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triacylglycerol 36:0(FA12:0) (Model 1) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs72919599

What is rs72919599?

rs72919599 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR8H2 gene. Published research associates it with triacylglycerol 36:0(fa12:0) (model 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72919599 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 rs72919599 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.
