Cholesteryl esters to total lipids ratio in small LDL

SIK3 · rs614944

What the study found

Who was studied 115,082 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.105 lower (95% confidence interval 0.074-0.136); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — in an intron of SIK3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters to total lipids ratio in small LDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters to total lipids ratio in small LDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl esters to total lipids ratio in small LDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs614944

What is rs614944?

rs614944 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIK3 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl esters to total lipids ratio in small ldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs614944 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 rs614944 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS biology 2022, PMID:35213538. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
