Known more commonly as the TM6SF2 E167K variant, but also as c.499C>T or p.Glu167Lys, rs58542926 is a highly studied variant in the TM6SF2 gene located on chromosome 19.

Summarizing many studies conducted over the last 10+ years: TM6SF2 E167K variant carriers, i.e. rs58542926(C) carriers, have lower total cholesterol levels, lower prevalence of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and a (slightly; ~0.90x) lower incidence of cardiovascular events, however, they also have a (slightly) increased risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes. Several reviews of TM6SF2 biology can be readily found, including the 2018 article, [PMID 29232562OA-icon.png]
