Triglyceride levels in LDL

BAZ1B · rs13221253

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.0409 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.053); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — in an intron of BAZ1B.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triglyceride levels in LDL compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triglyceride levels in LDL.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triglyceride levels in LDL — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs13221253

What is rs13221253?

rs13221253 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BAZ1B gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels in ldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13221253 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 rs13221253 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.
