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.

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−18, with 47 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.02 mmol/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 3 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.42 — between genes, 0.4 kb from FIZ1.

What each result means

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