High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

FAM13A · rs987469

What the study found

Who was studied 392,965 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.02 mmol/L higher; p = 5 × 10−29.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of FAM13A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs987469

What is rs987469?

rs987469 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13A 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 rs987469 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 rs987469 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2021, PMID:33980691. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
