research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triglyceride levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triglyceride levels.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triglyceride levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs149793040
What is rs149793040?
rs149793040 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACACB gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs149793040 mean I will get this?
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
Where does the information about rs149793040 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
