Where this position leads

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triglycerides — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triglycerides.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triglycerides compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9638182

What is rs9638182?

rs9638182 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MLXIPL 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 rs9638182 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 rs9638182 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 rs9638182 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:25961943. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
