What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.02 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q13.33 — in the 3′ untranslated region of NR1I2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total lipid levels in lipoprotein particles compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total lipid levels in lipoprotein particles.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total lipid levels in lipoprotein particles — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs3732359

What is rs3732359?

rs3732359 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NR1I2 gene. Published research associates it with total lipid levels in lipoprotein particles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3732359 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.

Does having rs3732359 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 rs3732359 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
