HDL cholesterol levels

LRP4 · rs326214

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−38, with 18 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 34,930 East Asian ancestry individuals, 187,167 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 8,741 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0609 lower (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.07); p = 6 × 10−39.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p11.2 — a synonymous change in MADD.

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-01 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study. The ancestry rows are gnomAD's own groups (via Ensembl), as the survey defines them, not races.

What each result means

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