Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0154 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 1 × 10−12.
Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — in an intron of COL18A1.
rs2274808 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL18A1 gene. Published research associates it with high-density lipoprotein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
