What the study found

Who was studied 215,551 European ancestry individuals, 57,332 African American individuals, 24,743 Hispanic individuals; replicated in Up to 319,677 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0186 mg dl-1 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.025); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.2 — between genes, 53.8 kb from MIR148A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. 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. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73081656

What is rs73081656?

rs73081656 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MIR148A gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73081656 linked to?

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

Does having rs73081656 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 rs73081656 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30275531. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
