Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

near APOB · rs143375141

What the study found

Who was studied 24,515 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.105 lower (95% confidence interval 0.069-0.141); p = 8 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — between genes, 44.9 kb from APOB.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs143375141

What is rs143375141?

rs143375141 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APOB gene. Published research associates it with low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs143375141 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 rs143375141 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35546142. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
