The translocator protein (TSPO) transports cholesterol into mitochondria and is involved in steroidogenesis. TheTSPOpolymorphism rs6971 influences binding of cholesterol and other TSPO ligands including positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging radiotracers. Although it is recognized that alcohol increases plasma high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs), its effects on total cholesterol and triglycerides along with its relationship toTSPOgenotype have not been assessed. Here, we evaluated whether plasma cholesterol and triglycerides are disrupted in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and their association with rs6971 in 932 AUD participants (DSM IV or 5) and 546 controls. AUD participants compared with controls had significantly higher plasma levels of total cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides, but not of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL). In the AUD group only,TSPOrs6971 had a significant effect on plasma levels of cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides (AA (n = 62) > AG (n = 319) > GG (n = 551)), but not on HDL levels. Additionally, we showed a significant effect ofTSPOrs6971 on withdrawal scores (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol [CIWA]), with higher scores in AA (n = 50) compared with AG (n = 238) and GG (n = 428). CIWA scores in AUD participants correlated negatively with LDL and positively with HDL, but not with total cholesterol or triglycerides. These findings corroborate elevated plasma cholesterol and HDL levels in AUD and document significant increases in triglycerides. We also reveal for the first time an association in AUD participants betweenTSPOrs6971 genotype and plasma cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels (not for HDL) and with withdrawal severity. Mediation analyses revealed that LDL (but not HDL) influenced the association betweenTSPOand alcohol withdrawal severity.
