What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.02 % higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 9 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of CCDC162P.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters to Total Lipids in Large HDL percentage. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters to Total Lipids in Large HDL percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters to Total Lipids in Large HDL percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62436601

What is rs62436601?

rs62436601 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCDC162P gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl esters to total lipids in large hdl percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62436601 linked to?

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.

Does having rs62436601 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 rs62436601 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
