Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

CREB3L2 · rs3735018

What the study found

Who was studied 99,432 Admixed African or African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.081 lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.097); p = 6 × 10−22.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q33 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CREB3L2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3735018

What is rs3735018?

rs3735018 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CREB3L2 gene. Published research associates it with low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3735018 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 rs3735018 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2021, PMID:34887591. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
