A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Coronary artery disease compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Coronary artery disease.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Coronary artery disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs73596816
What is rs73596816?
rs73596816 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPA gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs73596816 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs73596816 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 rs73596816 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circ Res 2017, PMID:29212778. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
