Who was studied 3,701 Mexican ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,114 Mexican ancestry individuals, 903 Mexican ancestry individuals from 73 dyslipidemic families.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.2 lower; p = 4 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — in an intron of CETP.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs118146573
What is rs118146573?
rs118146573 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol, total. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs118146573 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does rs118146573 affect how medicines work?
CETP carries pharmacogenomic findings for Statins. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.
Does having rs118146573 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 rs118146573 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2014, PMID:24886709. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
