Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease, Lipoprotein(a) Levels

Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What the study found

Who was studied 22,233 European ancestry cases, 64,762 European ancestry controls; replicated in 56,682 European ancestry cases and controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.51 times the odds of Coronary heart disease (95% confidence interval 1.33-1.70); p = 3 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.3 — a missense change in LPA.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for LIPOPROTEIN(a) POLYMORPHISM; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2020-08-07. ClinVar record 975030 NM_005577.4(LPA):c.5673A>G (p.Ile1891Met)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Coronary heart disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Coronary heart disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Coronary heart disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3798220

What is rs3798220?

rs3798220 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPA gene. Published research associates it with coronary heart disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3798220 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease, Lipoprotein(a) Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs3798220?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (35 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (7 papers), blood sugar and insulin (2 papers), exercise and muscle (2 papers), kidneys (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs3798220 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 rs3798220 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21378990. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
