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.

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 0.148 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.16); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰⁷.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.3 — between genes, 68.5 kb from LPL.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Free 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 Free 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 Free cholesterol levels in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs139315015

What is rs139315015?

rs139315015 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LPL gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol levels in chylomicrons and extremely large vldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs139315015 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 rs139315015 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.
