Brown fat thermogenesis receptor.
iHow 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.
| Genotype | Impact | Est. frequency | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| TTNormal | Normal | ~81% | Trp/Trp: normal resting metabolic rate and thermogenesis. |
| TCCarrier | Low impact | ~18% | Trp/Arg: slightly lower resting metabolic rate. |
| CCVariant | Moderate | ~1% | Arg/Arg: lower resting metabolic rate and a tendency to store fat; regular training and a higher protein intake offset it. |
Estimated with the Hardy-Weinberg principle from the variant's population frequency, not measured directly.
