What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0498 lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.066); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q22.1 — in an intron of MCU.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean diameter of VLDL particles. 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 Mean diameter of VLDL particles. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mean diameter of VLDL particles. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7075988

What is rs7075988?

rs7075988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MCU gene. Published research associates it with mean diameter of vldl particles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7075988 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 rs7075988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
