Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cholesterol, total compared to the general population.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cholesterol, total.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cholesterol, total — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1601935

What is rs1601935?

rs1601935 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LIPC gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol, total. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1601935 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1601935 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 rs1601935 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:25961943. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
