Triglyceride levels (MTAG)

C4orf17 · rs34500159

What the study found

Who was studied 125,000 African ancestry individuals (MTAG boosted by total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein samples).

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0188 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.025); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q23 — in an intron of C4orf17.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34500159

What is rs34500159?

rs34500159 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C4orf17 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34500159 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 rs34500159 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37669986. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
