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

Questions about rs8077889
What is rs8077889?
rs8077889 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MPP3 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs8077889 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to High Triglycerides. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs8077889 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 rs8077889 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:24097068. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
