Total cholesterol levels in HDL

BLTP3A · rs112563428

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0555 lower (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.067); p = 7 × 10−20.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of BLTP3A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs112563428

What is rs112563428?

rs112563428 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BLTP3A gene. Published research associates it with total cholesterol levels in hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112563428 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 rs112563428 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
