What the study found

Who was studied 107,605 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 53,373 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,787 East Asian ancestry individuals, 391,247 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.036 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.042); p = 7 × 10−32.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.11 — in an intron of NTAN1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to triglyceride (maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to triglyceride (maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to triglyceride (maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16966953

What is rs16966953?

rs16966953 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NTAN1 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride (maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16966953 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 rs16966953 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
