What the study found

Who was studied 73,475 European ancestry cases, 216,910 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0642 higher (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.087); p = 5 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — between genes, 0.8 kb from NDUFAF2P1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Medication use (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Medication use (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Medication use (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs57853403

What is rs57853403?

rs57853403 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AC012065.4 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (hmg coa reductase inhibitors). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs57853403 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs57853403 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 rs57853403 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31015401. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
