The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0796 higher (95% confidence interval 0.067-0.092); p = 4 × 10−38.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q14 — in an intron of LINC02853.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs140759676

What is rs140759676?

rs140759676 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02853 gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol to cholesteryl esters in large hdl ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs140759676 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 rs140759676 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
