Gene function

Regulates airway function and fat breakdown during exercise

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.

rs1042713 ADRB2 Arg16Gly Population frequency: 40.0% Chr. 5 : 148,826,910
Genotype Impact Est. frequency What it means
GGNormal Normal ~36% Gly/Gly: adrenaline receptors downregulate more with repeated stimulation; fat mobilisation during exercise is a little lower.
GACarrier Low impact ~48% Gly/Arg: intermediate fat-mobilisation response to exercise.
AAVariant Moderate ~16% Arg/Arg: efficient fat mobilisation with exercise; a good responder to low-intensity fat-burning sessions.

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