What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hypertriglyceridemia compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hypertriglyceridemia.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hypertriglyceridemia — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6982502

What is rs6982502?

rs6982502 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TRIB1 gene. Published research associates it with hypertriglyceridemia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6982502 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 rs6982502 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Clin Genet 2016, PMID:27599772. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
