Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 340,860 European ancestry individuals, 5,962 African ancestry individuals, 7,275 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0239 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.031); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q12 — between genes, 162.6 kb from MAFB.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Apolipoprotein B levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Apolipoprotein B levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Apolipoprotein B levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs62210638

What is rs62210638?

rs62210638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MAFB gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62210638 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 rs62210638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
