LDL cholesterol levels

IRF2BP2 · rs2587534

Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of LDL 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 LDL cholesterol levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of LDL cholesterol levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2587534

What is rs2587534?

rs2587534 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRF2BP2 gene. Published research associates it with ldl 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 rs2587534 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 rs2587534 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 rs2587534 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28334899. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
