What the study found

Who was studied up to 23,761 African ancestry individuals, 13,171 Asian ancestry individuals, up to 90,272 European ancestry individuals, 6,620 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0189 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.025); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 96% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q15.3 — in an intron of FRMD5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs492571

What is rs492571?

rs492571 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FRMD5 gene. Published research associates it with hdl 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 rs492571 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 rs492571 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30926973. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
