HDL cholesterol levels

near IFT81 · rs181629169

What the study found

Who was studied 58,701 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.78 lower (95% confidence interval 0.54-1.02); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — between genes, 2.6 kb from IFT81.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs181629169

What is rs181629169?

rs181629169 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IFT81 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs181629169 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 rs181629169 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biomedicines 2022, PMID:35884923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
