Gene function

Affects HDL metabolism

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.

rs5082 APOA2 Saturated Fat Population frequency: 35.0%
Genotype Impact Est. frequency What it means
GGNormal Moderate ~42% Higher sensitivity to saturated fat. Limit to <22g/day.
GACarrier Low impact ~45% Intermediate response to saturated fat.
AAVariant Normal ~12% Lower sensitivity. Saturated fat has less effect on BMI.

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