What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with meaningfully higher average circulating triglyceride levels compared to the general population.
T/C One copy of the variant. Published research associates this genotype with somewhat higher average circulating triglyceride levels.
T/T Typical APOA5 activity in published research — no added association with higher triglycerides from this variant.
A routine lipid panel blood test is the reliable way to know your actual triglyceride level — this genotype only describes a population-level tendency. Talk to a doctor about your results and diet if you have concerns.
