High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

RSPH6A · rs8111071

What the study found

Who was studied 313,372 European ancestry individuals, 5,573 African ancestry individuals, 6,689 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.037 lower (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.046); p = 5 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in an intron of RSPH6A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8111071

What is rs8111071?

rs8111071 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RSPH6A gene. Published research associates it with high density lipoprotein 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 rs8111071 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 rs8111071 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
