Phosphatidylinositols (18:0/18:1) (Model 2)

LINC00299 · rs76048162

What the study found

Who was studied 6,964 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.549 lower; p = 2 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p25.1 — in an intron of LINC00299.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylinositols (18:0/18:1) (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 Phosphatidylinositols (18:0/18:1) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylinositols (18:0/18:1) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs76048162

What is rs76048162?

rs76048162 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00299 gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylinositols (18:0/18:1) (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 rs76048162 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 rs76048162 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.
