Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs1801282 PPARG Pro12Ala Population frequency: 12.0% Chr. 3 : 12,351,626
Genotype Impact What it means
CC (Normal) Normal Pro Pro higher fat storage efficiency
CG (Carrier) Low impact Pro12Ala carrier, favourable variant : improved insulin sensitivity and reduced type 2 diabetes risk. Diet rich in monounsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts, avocado) amplifies the protective effect.
GG (Variant) Moderate Ala Ala lower T2DM risk less efficient fat storage
