What the study found

Who was studied 313,372 European ancestry individuals, 5,573 African ancestry individuals, 6,689 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0694 higher (95% confidence interval 0.061-0.077); p = 1 × 10−65.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — in an intron of NLRC5.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1875236

What is rs1875236?

rs1875236 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NLRC5 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 rs1875236 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 rs1875236 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 rs1875236 come from?

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