G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Myocardial infarction (early onset) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198609)
G/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Myocardial infarction (early onset). (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198609)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Myocardial infarction (early onset) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198609)
rs1122608 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LDLR gene. Published research associates it with myocardial infarction (early onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs1122608 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs1122608 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 rs1122608 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198609. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
