Triglyceride levels in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL

LPA · rs62441903

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 15 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 115,082 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.132 lower (95% confidence interval 0.094-0.171); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglyceride levels in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Triglyceride levels in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Triglyceride levels in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62441903

What is rs62441903?

rs62441903 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPA gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels in chylomicrons and extremely large vldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62441903 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 rs62441903 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.
