Triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio

near MC4R · rs78274649

What the study found

Who was studied 402,398 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0673 higher (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.085); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.32 — between genes, 13.8 kb from MC4R.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78274649

What is rs78274649?

rs78274649 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MC4R gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride to hdl cholesterol ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78274649 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 rs78274649 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38200128. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
