What the study found

Who was studied 341,875 European ancestry individuals, 6,003 African ancestry individuals, 7,319 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0332 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.044); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q13.3 — between genes, 2 kb from SLC25A5P9.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72768400

What is rs72768400?

rs72768400 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near POC5 gene. Published research associates it with low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72768400 linked to?

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

Does having rs72768400 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 rs72768400 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
