C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL cholesterol.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of HDL cholesterol compared to the general population.
rs181362 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UBE2L3 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs181362 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 rs181362 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 rs181362 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20686565. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
