High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

SLC22A2 · rs3798158

What the study found

Who was studied 313,372 European ancestry individuals, 5,573 African ancestry individuals, 6,689 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0422 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.053); p = 3 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.3 — in an intron of SLC22A2.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. 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 High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3798158

What is rs3798158?

rs3798158 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC22A2 gene. Published research associates it with high 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 rs3798158 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 rs3798158 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
