Insulin signaling cascade.

Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs2943641 IRS1 rs2943641 Population frequency: 35.0% Chr. 2 : 226,801,989
Genotype Impact What it means
CC (Normal) Normal Normal insulin signaling
CT (Carrier) Low impact Reduced IRS1 insulin signalling, tendency toward mild insulin resistance. Lower glycaemic load, regular physical activity, and magnesium-rich foods improve insulin sensitivity.
TT (Variant) Moderate TT genotype, increased insulin resistance risk. Regular exercise is highly beneficial. Prioritise low-glycaemic carbohydrates, fibre, and adequate protein at each meal.
