Sterol ester (27:1/20:3) levels

BMERB1 · rs117975403

What the study found

Who was studied 4,642 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.187 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.24); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.11 — in an intron of BMERB1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sterol ester (27:1/20:3) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sterol ester (27:1/20:3) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sterol ester (27:1/20:3) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs117975403

What is rs117975403?

rs117975403 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BMERB1 gene. Published research associates it with sterol ester (27:1/20:3) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117975403 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 rs117975403 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2022, PMID:36193934. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
