What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.76 higher (95% confidence interval 0.55-0.97); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — in an intron of GALNT2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Very Large HDL ratio. 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 Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Very Large HDL ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Very Large HDL ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72651067

What is rs72651067?

rs72651067 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GALNT2 gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol to cholesteryl esters in very large hdl ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72651067 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 rs72651067 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 rs72651067 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.
