High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

near LINC-ADAIN · rs4741016

What the study found

Who was studied 1,320,016 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0145 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.018); p = 2 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p24.3 — between genes, 9.1 kb from LINC-ADAIN.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/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 rs4741016

What is rs4741016?

rs4741016 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC-ADAIN 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 rs4741016 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 rs4741016 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.
