Free cholesterol in large LDL

CHLSN · rs4724102

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0322 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.042); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.3 — in an intron of CHLSN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4724102

What is rs4724102?

rs4724102 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHLSN gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol in large ldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4724102 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 rs4724102 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
