What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Metabolite levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mutat 2013, PMID:23281178)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Metabolite levels. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mutat 2013, PMID:23281178)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Metabolite levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mutat 2013, PMID:23281178)

Questions about rs11045879

What is rs11045879?

rs11045879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLCO1B1 gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs11045879 affect how medicines work?

SLCO1B1 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Statins. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs11045879 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 rs11045879 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mutat 2013, PMID:23281178. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
