Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

USP24 · rs4927194

What the study found

Who was studied 341,875 European ancestry individuals, 6,003 African ancestry individuals, 7,319 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0689 lower (95% confidence interval 0.054-0.084); p = 5 × 10−19.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — in an intron of USP24.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4927194

What is rs4927194?

rs4927194 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP24 gene. Published research associates it with low 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 rs4927194 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 rs4927194 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
