Total cholesterol levels

FAM117B · rs6435161

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 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 32,576 East Asian ancestry individuals, 187,365 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 10,855 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0243 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.032); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of FAM117B.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study. The ancestry rows are gnomAD's own groups (via Ensembl), as the survey defines them, not races.

What each result means

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