What the study found

Who was studied 19,840 European ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 20,623 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.07 s.d. higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.11); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in the 3′ untranslated region of PCIF1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7679

What is rs7679?

rs7679 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLTP gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7679 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs7679?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include kidneys (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs7679 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 rs7679 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:19060906. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
