Ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids

near TBL2 · rs9638180

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 110,896 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0569 lower (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.067); p = 1 × 10−27.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — between genes, 5.8 kb from TBL2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids. 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 Ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9638180

What is rs9638180?

rs9638180 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TBL2 gene. Published research associates it with ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9638180 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 rs9638180 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
