What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0344 higher (95% confidence interval 0.026-0.043); p = 6 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — inside MIR646HG.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Free Cholesterol to Cholesteryl Esters in Large HDL ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs76608478

What is rs76608478?

rs76608478 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR646HG gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol to cholesteryl esters in large hdl ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs76608478 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs76608478 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 rs76608478 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
