Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.03 mmol/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.03); p = 2 × 10−32.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 1.9 kb from HLA-DQA1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Total cholesterol levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Total cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Total cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs28383323
What is rs28383323?
rs28383323 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DQA1 gene. Published research associates it with total 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 rs28383323 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 rs28383323 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 rs28383323 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
