Analyzed variants (SNPs)

How to read this: each row is one possible genotype, the two DNA letters you carry at this position, one inherited from each parent. "Normal" matches the more common version; "Carrier" (heterozygous) means you have one copy of each version, usually a partial effect; "Variant" (homozygous) means both copies carry the less common version, usually the strongest effect. The estimated frequency below is calculated from the variant's frequency in the general population (Hardy-Weinberg principle) — it is a population estimate, not a measurement of our own customers.

rs17300539 ADIPOQ -11391G-A Population frequency: 7.0% Chr. 3 : 186,559,460
Genotype Impact Est. frequency What it means
GGNormal Normal ~86% G/G: normal adiponectin levels; standard insulin sensitivity.
GACarrier Low impact ~13% G/A: slightly lower adiponectin.
AAVariant Moderate ~0% A/A: lower adiponectin, associated with reduced insulin sensitivity; regular training and a Mediterranean-style diet raise it.

Estimated with the Hardy-Weinberg principle from the variant's population frequency, not measured directly.
