Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs2010963 VEGFA -634G-C Population frequency: 30.0% Chr. 6 : 43,770,613
Genotype Impact What it means
GG (Normal) Normal Higher VEGF better capillarization with training
GC (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate VEGFA expression. Moderate angiogenic capacity. Diets rich in polyphenols (berries, dark cocoa, green tea) support healthy vascular function.
CC (Variant) Moderate CC genotype, lower VEGF expression and blunted angiogenic response to training. Combine endurance and strength training; ensure adequate nitric-oxide precursors (beetroot, leafy greens).
