Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 1,122 Mexican ancestry hypertriglyceridemia cases, 1,118 Mexican ancestry controls; replicated in 1,067 Mexican ancestry hypertriglyceridemia cases, 1,054 Mexican ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.37 lower (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.45); p = 6 × 10−26.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.1 — a missense change in ABCA1.

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 people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (10 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (5 papers), natural selection (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
