PCSK9 levels

USP24 · rs10493176

What the study found

Who was studied 12,721 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0551 lower (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.069); p = 4 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — in an intron of USP24.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to PCSK9 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to PCSK9 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to PCSK9 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10493176

What is rs10493176?

rs10493176 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP24 gene. Published research associates it with pcsk9 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10493176 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 rs10493176 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2022, PMID:34590679. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
