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 C allele shifted the measure 0.0202 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.025); p = 1 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — in an intron of CETP.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs2033254

What is rs2033254?

rs2033254 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 rs2033254 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 rs2033254 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 rs2033254 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.
