C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total cholesterol levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422)
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total cholesterol levels. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total cholesterol levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422)
rs9371220 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCDC170 gene. Published research associates it with total cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs9371220 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 rs9371220 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 rs9371220 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29507422. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
