PCSK9 levels in statin-naive individuals

near KCNA1 · rs184753872

What the study found

Who was studied 15,390 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.74 lower (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.96); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.32 — between genes, 27.6 kb from KCNA1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to PCSK9 levels in statin-naive individuals. 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 PCSK9 levels in statin-naive individuals. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to PCSK9 levels in statin-naive individuals. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs184753872

What is rs184753872?

rs184753872 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KCNA1 gene. Published research associates it with pcsk9 levels in statin-naive individuals. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs184753872 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 rs184753872 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Atherosclerosis 2023, PMID:37989062. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
