Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)
What the study found
Who was studied 76,627 European ancestry individuals, 7,795 Hispanic individuals, 6,855 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,958 African American individuals, 439 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.034 lower; p = 4 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p22.1 — in an intron of EVI5.
rs2027061 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EVI5 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.
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.
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.
