Apolipoprotein B levels

CSTA · rs12054451

What the study found

Who was studied 439,214 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.016 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.1 — between genes, 3.6 kb from CSTA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12054451

What is rs12054451?

rs12054451 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CSTA gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12054451 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 rs12054451 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS medicine 2020, PMID:32203549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
