LDAH · rs79800183

What the study found

Who was studied 269,545 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0768 lower (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.095); p = 3 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.1 — in an intron of LDAH.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to LDL (standard GWA). 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 LDL (standard GWA). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to LDL (standard GWA). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs79800183

What is rs79800183?

rs79800183 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LDAH gene. Published research associates it with ldl (standard gwa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79800183 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 rs79800183 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2023, PMID:37106081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
