What the study found

Who was studied 76,627 European ancestry individuals, 7,795 Hispanic individuals, 6,855 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,958 African American individuals, 439 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.043 lower; p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — in an intron of NPC1L1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs73107473

What is rs73107473?

rs73107473 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NPC1L1 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 rs73107473 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73107473 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 rs73107473 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
