What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.02 % higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q13 — in an intron of MIR4435-2HG.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Total Lipids in Medium HDL percentage. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Total Lipids in Medium HDL percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Total Lipids in Medium HDL percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What is rs73954926?

rs73954926 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR4435-2HG gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol to total lipids in medium hdl percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73954926 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 rs73954926 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.
