What the study found

Who was studied 39,961 British ancestry cases, 309,261 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0738 lower (95% confidence interval 0.055-0.093); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of PLTP.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Familial combined hyperlipidemia defined by Consensus criteria. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Familial combined hyperlipidemia defined by Consensus criteria. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Familial combined hyperlipidemia defined by Consensus criteria. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6073952

What is rs6073952?

rs6073952 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLTP gene. Published research associates it with familial combined hyperlipidemia defined by consensus criteria. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6073952 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia Defined by Consensus Criteria. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6073952 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 rs6073952 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Atherosclerosis 2022, PMID:34906840. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
