What the study found

Who was studied up to 237,050 European ancestry individuals, up to 16,935 African ancestry individuals, up to 30,468 South Asian ancestry individuals, up to 8,287 East Asian ancestry individuals, 5,084 Hispanic individuals; replicated in up to 286,268 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0157 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.02); p = 7 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p22.2 — between genes, 16.5 kb from BNC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3927680

What is rs3927680?

rs3927680 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BNC2 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3927680 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 rs3927680 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:29083408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
