HDL Cholesterol - Triglycerides (HDLC-TG)

CETP · rs173539

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of HDL Cholesterol - Triglycerides (HDLC-TG) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2011, PMID:21386085)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL Cholesterol - Triglycerides (HDLC-TG). (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2011, PMID:21386085)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL Cholesterol - Triglycerides (HDLC-TG) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2011, PMID:21386085)

Questions about rs173539

What is rs173539?

rs173539 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol - triglycerides (hdlc-tg). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs173539 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 rs173539 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2011, PMID:21386085. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
