SNP information rs2306179
Normal allele: CC
gene is responsible for hepatic glycogen synthase, which catalyses the formation of glycogen from glucose in the liver. According to the study carriers of the minor allele C lost more weight than homozygotes for the major allele T in response to a keto diet (8-13% carbohydrate, 60-63% fat and 28-30% protein) over a period of 4-12 years. This suggests that the liver glycogen response to carbohydrate restriction may influence the weight loss response to the keto diet.
