PCSK9 protein levels

CTNNA3 · rs10822940

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 496 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.499 higher (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.67); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — in an intron of CTNNA3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10822940

What is rs10822940?

rs10822940 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTNNA3 gene. Published research associates it with pcsk9 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10822940 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 rs10822940 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2024, PMID:38565889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
