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 A allele shifted the measure 0.01 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.01); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q36.3 — in an intron of PID1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters in Medium HDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters in Medium HDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Cholesteryl Esters in Medium HDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6738549
What is rs6738549?
rs6738549 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PID1 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl esters in medium hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6738549 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 rs6738549 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 rs6738549 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.
