What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:29083408)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:29083408)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:29083408)

Questions about rs900399

What is rs900399?

rs900399 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LEKR1 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 rs900399 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 rs900399 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:29083408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
