VPS11 · rs1177562

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 315,133 European ancestry individuals, 74,970 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0179 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.022); p = 3 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — a synonymous change in VPS11.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL cholesterol.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of HDL cholesterol compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1177562

What is rs1177562?

rs1177562 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VPS11 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1177562 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 rs1177562 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
