Apolipoprotein A1 levels

APOC1 · rs144311893

What the study found

Who was studied 393,193 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.123 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.14); p = 1 × 10−70.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — between genes, 0.6 kb from APOC1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Apolipoprotein A1 levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Apolipoprotein A1 levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Apolipoprotein A1 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs144311893

What is rs144311893?

rs144311893 is a single position in the genome, in or near the APOC1 gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein a1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs144311893 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 rs144311893 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS medicine 2020, PMID:32203549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
