IFT80 · rs10513551

What the study found

Who was studied 215,551 European ancestry individuals, 57,332 African American individuals, 24,743 Hispanic individuals; replicated in Up to 319,677 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0141 mg dl-1 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0098-0.0184); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q25.33 — in an intron of IFT80.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10513551

What is rs10513551?

rs10513551 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFT80 gene. Published research associates it with ldl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10513551 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 rs10513551 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30275531. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
