Apolipoprotein A1 levels

C7orf72 · rs34767118

What the study found

Who was studied 393,193 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0169 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.021); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.2 — between genes, 71.9 kb from IKZF1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Apolipoprotein A1 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 Apolipoprotein A1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Apolipoprotein A1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34767118

What is rs34767118?

rs34767118 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C7orf72 gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein a1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34767118 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 rs34767118 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS medicine 2020, PMID:32203549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
