Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0261 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.034); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.1 — in an intron of TF.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean diameter of LDL particles. 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 Mean diameter of LDL particles. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mean diameter of LDL particles. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8177271

What is rs8177271?

rs8177271 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TF gene. Published research associates it with mean diameter of ldl particles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8177271 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 rs8177271 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
