rs887829 is a SNP in the UGT1A1 gene. The minor allele of this SNP has been reported to be associated with higher levels of serum bilirubin, which has an inverse correlation with coronary artery disease.

This study of 2,000+ patients reports a recessive protective effect against coronary artery disease for the minor allele, with an age-adjusted odds ratio of 0.24 (CI: 0.10-0.60, p=0.0014).
