What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lipoprotein (a) levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:26377243)

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lipoprotein (a) levels. (GWAS Catalog, J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:26377243)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lipoprotein (a) levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:26377243)

Questions about rs17539620

What is rs17539620?

rs17539620 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CNKSR3 gene. Published research associates it with lipoprotein (a) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17539620 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 rs17539620 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:26377243. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
