What the study found

Who was studied 592 Asian ancestry individuals, 8,819 Black individuals, 8,721 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 20,333 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.095 lower (95% confidence interval 0.079-0.111); p = 1 × 10−31.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.3 — in an intron of LEPR.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-09-05. ClinVar record 1267242 NM_002303.6(LEPR):c.2673+3353T>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6588153

What is rs6588153?

rs6588153 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LEPR gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6588153 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6588153 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 rs6588153 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2024, PMID:38747556. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
