Each additional allele of rs17238484(G) was associated with a mean 0.06-mmol/L lower LDL-cholesterol level. Similar reductions were associated with [[rs12916]] SNP. In addition, they found that each additional allele of rs17238484-G was associated with a higher body weight (0.30 kg), waist circumference (0.32 cm), and plasma insulin concentration (1.62%) and plasma glucose concentration (0.23%). Again, the [[rs12916]] SNP had similar effect
