What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of HDL cholesterol compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Med Genet 2013, PMID:23505323)
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL cholesterol. (GWAS Catalog, J Med Genet 2013, PMID:23505323)
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Med Genet 2013, PMID:23505323)

Questions about rs9282541
What is rs9282541?
rs9282541 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABCA1 gene. Published research associates it with hdl cholesterol. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs9282541 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 rs9282541 come from?
GWAS Catalog, J Med Genet 2013, PMID:23505323. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
