Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.108 lower (95% confidence interval 0.082-0.134); p = 5 × 10−18.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.
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 Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030). 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 Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72771489
What is rs72771489?
rs72771489 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP gene. Published research associates it with haematocrit percentage (ukb data field 30030). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72771489 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does rs72771489 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 rs72771489 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 rs72771489 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
