Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 341,875 European ancestry individuals, 6,003 African ancestry individuals, 7,319 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0335 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.044); p = 4 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q13.3 — in an intron of CERT1.
rs116070404 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CERT1 gene. Published research associates it with low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
