Total cholesterol levels (MTAG)

QTRT1 · rs114213467

What the study found

Who was studied 125,000 African ancestry individuals (MTAG boosted by high-density lipoprotein and triglyceride samples).

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.291 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.33); p = 2 × 10−60.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — at a splice region of QTRT1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2019-12-31. ClinVar record 785607 NM_031209.3(QTRT1):c.313-4T>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs114213467

What is rs114213467?

rs114213467 is a single position in the genome, in or near the QTRT1 gene. Published research associates it with total cholesterol levels (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs114213467 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 rs114213467 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37669986. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
