Triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio

ABCA1 · rs2275543

What the study found

Who was studied 402,398 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0374 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.046); p = 6 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.1 — in an intron of ABCA1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-11-04. ClinVar record 1183337 NM_005502.4(ABCA1):c.160+209A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 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

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio. 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 Triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2275543

What is rs2275543?

rs2275543 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABCA1 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride to hdl cholesterol ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2275543 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 rs2275543 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38200128. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
