What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00455 higher (95% confidence interval 0.003-0.0061); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — between genes, 1.1 kb from SCARB1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in chylomicrons and extremely large VLDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7131805

What is rs7131805?

rs7131805 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SCARB1 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides in chylomicrons and extremely large vldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7131805 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7131805 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 rs7131805 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
