The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−23.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q12 — in an intron of PLCG1-AS1.
rs6029549 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TOP1 gene. Published research associates it with ldl cholesterol x physical activity interaction (2df test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
