What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cholesterol, total — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2016, PMID:26780889)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cholesterol, total. (GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2016, PMID:26780889)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cholesterol, total compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2016, PMID:26780889)

Questions about rs138534124

What is rs138534124?

rs138534124 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KANK2 gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol, total. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs138534124 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 rs138534124 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2016, PMID:26780889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
