Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

ZNF574 · rs201596848

What the study found

Who was studied up to 237,050 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.25 lower; p = 1 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — a missense change in ZNF574.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs201596848

What is rs201596848?

rs201596848 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZNF574 gene. Published research associates it with low 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.

Does having rs201596848 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 rs201596848 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:29083408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
