What the study found
Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0434 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.057); p = 3 × 10−10.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.3 — in an intron of PXK.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Free cholesterol in very small VLDL compared to the general population.
C/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Free cholesterol in very small VLDL.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Free cholesterol in very small VLDL — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs13067940
What is rs13067940?
rs13067940 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PXK gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol in very small vldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs13067940 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 rs13067940 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
