What the study found

Who was studied 13,781 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 13.8 lower (95% confidence interval 10.97-16.65); p = 3 × 10−28.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q26 — in an intron of LPA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117026595

What is rs117026595?

rs117026595 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPA gene. Published research associates it with lipoprotein(a) levels adjusted for apolipoprotein(a) isoforms. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117026595 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Lipoprotein(a) Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs117026595 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 rs117026595 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of lipid research 2017, PMID:28512139. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
