Cholesteryl ester (20:1) levels

SOAT2 · rs28765985

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.323 higher (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.39); p = 2 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.13 — in an intron of SOAT2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (20:1) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (20:1) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl ester (20:1) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs28765985

What is rs28765985?

rs28765985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SOAT2 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl ester (20:1) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28765985 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 rs28765985 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
