What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0152 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q12 — in an intron of PGAP3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol levels (UKB data field 30690). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol levels (UKB data field 30690). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesterol levels (UKB data field 30690). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2941506

What is rs2941506?

rs2941506 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PGAP3 gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol levels (ukb data field 30690). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2941506 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2941506 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 rs2941506 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
