Who was studied 76,627 European ancestry individuals, 7,795 Hispanic individuals, 6,855 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,958 African American individuals, 439 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.024 lower; p = 3 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — between genes, 6.1 kb from USP3.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55829990
What is rs55829990?
rs55829990 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near USP3 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs55829990 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to High Triglycerides. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs55829990 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 rs55829990 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29507422. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
