What the study found

Who was studied 265,204 European ancestry individuals, 7,795 Hispanic individuals, 6,855 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,958 African American individuals, 439 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.021 lower; p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q32.1 — in an intron of CALCRL-AS1.

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 rs17576323

What is rs17576323?

rs17576323 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CALCRL 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.

What conditions is rs17576323 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 rs17576323 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 rs17576323 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
