Average diameter for HDL particles

SLC12A5 · rs112461953

What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00255 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0017-0.0034); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of SLC12A5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs112461953

What is rs112461953?

rs112461953 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC12A5 gene. Published research associates it with average diameter for hdl particles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112461953 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 rs112461953 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
