What the study found

Who was studied 76,627 European ancestry individuals, 7,795 Hispanic individuals, 6,855 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,958 African American individuals, 439 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.424 lower; p = 7 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in an intron of APOE.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. 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 Triglycerides. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs115299243

What is rs115299243?

rs115299243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the APOE gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs115299243 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to High Triglycerides. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does rs115299243 affect how medicines work?

APOE carries pharmacogenomic findings for Lecanemab and other anti-amyloid antibodies. 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 rs115299243 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 rs115299243 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
