CLIC2 · rs151113194

What the study found

Who was studied 1,238,180 European, East Asian, Hispanic, admixed African or South Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,236 Arab ancestry individuals, 4,362 Asian ancestry individuals, 8,205 Hispanic individuals, 10,657 African ancestry individuals, 22,967 African American individuals, 28,290 South Asian ancestry individuals, 71,410 European ancestry individuals, 160,212 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0177 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.023); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq28 — in an intron of CLIC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs151113194

What is rs151113194?

rs151113194 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLIC2 gene. Published research associates it with high 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 rs151113194 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 rs151113194 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2022, PMID:36575460. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
