Who was studied 88,192 cases, 162,544 controls; replicated in 34,541 cases, 261,984 controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.063 higher (95% confidence interval 0.048-0.078); p = 2 × 10−17.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — between genes, 1.9 kb from LOC124905593.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Coronary artery disease compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Coronary artery disease.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Coronary artery disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs668948
What is rs668948?
rs668948 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APOB gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs668948 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs668948 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 rs668948 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circ Res 2017, PMID:29212778. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
