Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/C
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL cholesterol.
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of HDL cholesterol compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7255436
What is rs7255436?
rs7255436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANGPTL4 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What do people read about alongside rs7255436?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs7255436 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 rs7255436 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2010, PMID:20686565. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
