EFCAB13 · rs9894905

What the study found

Who was studied 88,329 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0316 higher (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.041); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in an intron of EFCAB13.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in medium LDL (UKB data field 23540). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in medium LDL (UKB data field 23540). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesterol in medium LDL (UKB data field 23540). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9894905

What is rs9894905?

rs9894905 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EFCAB13 gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol in medium ldl (ukb data field 23540). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9894905 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 rs9894905 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychiatry 2023, PMID:36764567. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
