Free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in large LDL

AFF1 · rs236984

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0326 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.04); p = 8 × 10−17.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q21.3 — in an intron of AFF1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in large LDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in large LDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in large LDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs236984

What is rs236984?

rs236984 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFF1 gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol to total lipids ratio in large ldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs236984 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 rs236984 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
