What the study found

Who was studied 313,372 European ancestry individuals, 5,573 African ancestry individuals, 6,689 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.322 lower (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.33).

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — a missense change in CETP.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Hyperalphalipoproteinemia 1; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 5 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-04. ClinVar record 319999 NM_000078.3(CETP):c.1403G>A (p.Arg468Gln)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1800777

What is rs1800777?

rs1800777 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP gene. Published research associates it with high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs1800777 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 rs1800777 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 rs1800777 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
