What the study found

Who was studied 429,011 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.021 mmol/L lower; p = 7 × 10−22.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.1 — in an intron of TNFAIP8.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9764678

What is rs9764678?

rs9764678 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNFAIP8 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 rs9764678 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 rs9764678 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 rs9764678 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2021, PMID:33980691. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
