LDL cholesterol

PPARG · rs2920503

Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

What the study found

Who was studied up 62,166 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.041 s.d. higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.055); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.2 — between genes, 4.6 kb from PPARG.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to LDL cholesterol. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2920503

What is rs2920503?

rs2920503 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARG gene. Published research associates it with ldl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2920503 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.

What do people read about alongside rs2920503?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include sport and performance (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2920503 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 rs2920503 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:25961943. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
