HDL cholesterol levels

AFDN · rs77984694

What the study found

Who was studied 58,701 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.56 lower (95% confidence interval 0.38-0.74); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q27 — in an intron of AFDN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs77984694

What is rs77984694?

rs77984694 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFDN gene. Published research associates it with hdl 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 rs77984694 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 rs77984694 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biomedicines 2022, PMID:35884923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
