What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.01 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.01); p = 5 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — in an intron of IPO9.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Free cholesterol in large HDL. 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 Free cholesterol in large HDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Free cholesterol in large HDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs903678

What is rs903678?

rs903678 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IPO9 gene. Published research associates it with free cholesterol in large hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs903678 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs903678 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 rs903678 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
