What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Linoleic acid levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Linoleic acid levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Linoleic acid levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs74607435

What is rs74607435?

rs74607435 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CEACAM16-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with linoleic acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74607435 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 rs74607435 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.
