What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hypercholesterolemia compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hypercholesterolemia.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hypercholesterolemia — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs75214121

What is rs75214121?

rs75214121 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CYP7A1 gene. Published research associates it with hypercholesterolemia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs75214121 linked to?

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

Does having rs75214121 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 rs75214121 come from?

GWAS Catalog, International journal of molecular sciences 2022, PMID:36233190. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
