Low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

TUB · rs75594955

What the study found

Who was studied 60,405 Hispanic or Latino individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.19 higher (95% confidence interval 0.59-1.78); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — a missense change in TUB.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 4 submitters), last evaluated 2026-01-30. ClinVar record 719359 NM_177972.3(TUB):c.1126G>A (p.Val376Ile)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

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 rs75594955

What is rs75594955?

rs75594955 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TUB 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.

Does having rs75594955 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 rs75594955 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40210677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
