POLR1HASP · rs9259620

What the study found

Who was studied 288,127 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0296 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.039); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of POLR1HASP.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9259620

What is rs9259620?

rs9259620 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POLR1HASP gene. Published research associates it with ldl 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 rs9259620 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 rs9259620 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36333282. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
