Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Low blood triglyceride levels is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| CCT5chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5 | Always | In 1 condition |
| GALNT2polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MTTPmicrosomal triglyceride transfer protein | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NGLY1N-glycanase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PCYT1Aphosphate cytidylyltransferase 1A, choline | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ANGPTL3angiopoietin like 3 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| APOC3apolipoprotein C3 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| SAR1Bsecretion associated Ras related GTPase 1B | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
