Apolipoprotein B levels

LDAH · rs17663874

What the study found

Who was studied 340,860 European ancestry individuals, 5,962 African ancestry individuals, 7,275 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0224 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.029); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — a missense change in LDAH.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17663874

What is rs17663874?

rs17663874 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LDAH gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17663874 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 rs17663874 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
