At one locus - GALNT2 - the same SNP discovered in whites was significantly associated with HDL cholesterol in at least one non-white ethnic group. SNP rs4846914 at GALNT2 was associated with HDL cholesterol in Mexican Americans (P = 0.02) but not in non-Hispanic blacks. SNPs at the remaining loci failed to replicate in either non-white ethnic group.
