What the study found

Who was studied 215,551 European ancestry individuals, 57,332 African American individuals, 24,743 Hispanic individuals; replicated in Up to 319,677 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0216 mg dl-1 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.029); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.43 — between genes, 12.5 kb from ZNF274.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs117492019

What is rs117492019?

rs117492019 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZNF274 gene. Published research associates it with ldl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117492019 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs117492019 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 rs117492019 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30275531. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
