Description

The KIF6 gene encodes kinesin-like protein 6, which is part of a superfamily of motor proteins that play a role in intracellular transport. Although KIF6 is not directly related to lipid metabolism, there is an association between KIF6 variants and increased risk for coronary heart disease. One such variant is c.2155T>C (p.Trp719Arg; rs20455), which may also play a role in individual patient responses to statin therapy. PMID: 29295555 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
