SLCO1B1 · rs116853509
What the study found
Who was studied 1,954 Chinese ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.24 higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.32); p = 4 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.2 — in an intron of SLCO1B7.
rs116853509 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLCO1B1 gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Metabolite Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
SLCO1B1 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Statins, Ticagrelor. 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.
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.
