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, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:19060910)
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with HDL cholesterol. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:19060910)
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of HDL cholesterol — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:19060910)

Questions about rs3764261

What is rs3764261?

rs3764261 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CETP 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.

What conditions is rs3764261 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to High Triglycerides. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs3764261?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (2 papers), exercise and muscle (2 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs3764261 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 rs3764261 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2008, PMID:19060910. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
