Cholesterol in Medium HDL

SIGIRR · rs117739035

Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.03 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.03); p = 4 × 10⁻¹¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — a missense change in SIGIRR.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2024-02-01. ClinVar record 3024719 NM_001135054.2(SIGIRR):c.239C>A (p.Ser80Tyr)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in Medium HDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in Medium HDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in Medium HDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs117739035

What is rs117739035?

rs117739035 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIGIRR gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol in medium hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117739035 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 rs117739035 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 rs117739035 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
