Lipoprotein levels

near PLG · rs117052562

What the study found

Who was studied 1,686 Tibetan ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,065 Tibetan ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 94 higher; p = 4 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q26 — between genes, 12.5 kb from PLG.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117052562

What is rs117052562?

rs117052562 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PLG gene. Published research associates it with lipoprotein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117052562 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 rs117052562 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Current biology : CB 2023, PMID:37643619. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
