Gene function

Reduces triglycerides

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.

rs662799 APOA5 Triglycerides Population frequency: 8.0%
Genotype Impact Est. frequency What it means
AANormal Normal ~85% Normal triglyceride levels with standard diet.
AGCarrier Moderate ~15% Elevated triglyceride tendency. Increase omega-3s.
GGVariant High impact ~1% Higher triglyceride risk. Limit sugars and refined carbs.

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