Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.02 degree higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 2 × 10⁻²¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.3 — in an intron of AGPAT2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2021-07-14. ClinVar record 1188861 NM_006412.4(AGPAT2):c.661+121T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Degree of unsaturation — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Degree of unsaturation.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Degree of unsaturation compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9411215

What is rs9411215?

rs9411215 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AGPAT2 gene. Published research associates it with degree of unsaturation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9411215 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9411215 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 rs9411215 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
