What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of LDL cholesterol compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20686565)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with LDL cholesterol. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20686565)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of LDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20686565)
