LDL cholesterol levels

near ASGR1 · rs116403919

What the study found

Who was studied 288,127 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0278 lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.036); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — between genes, 5 kb from ASGR1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs116403919

What is rs116403919?

rs116403919 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ASGR1 gene. Published research associates it with ldl cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116403919 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 rs116403919 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36333282. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
