Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs6511720 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LDLR gene. Published research associates it with lipoprotein-associated phospholipase a2 activity and mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include infection and immunity (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
