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.

rs2010963 VEGFA -634G-C Population frequency: 30.0% Chr. 6 : 43,770,613
Genotype Impact Est. frequency What it means
GGNormal Normal ~49% G/G: higher VEGF expression; strong capillary growth in response to endurance training.
GCCarrier Low impact ~42% G/C: intermediate capillary-growth response to training.
CCVariant Moderate ~9% C/C: lower VEGF expression; capillaries grow more slowly with training, so aerobic gains take longer to show. Volume and patience build them, not intensity.

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