Diacylglycerol (18:0/22:6) (Model 2)

XKR6 · rs73196842

What the study found

Who was studied 6,915 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.138 lower; p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of XKR6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Diacylglycerol (18:0/22:6) (Model 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Diacylglycerol (18:0/22:6) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Diacylglycerol (18:0/22:6) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73196842

What is rs73196842?

rs73196842 is a single position in the genome, in or near the XKR6 gene. Published research associates it with diacylglycerol (18:0/22:6) (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 rs73196842 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 rs73196842 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.
