Study of how ANGPTL3 gene variants affect body functions
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how different ANGPTL3 gene versions may change normal body measurements (such as blood and metabolism). It may help researchers understand why these genetic differences affect health, especially related to fats (lipids) in the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- You have an ANGPTL3 genetic variant, or you are an age- and sex-matched comparison (control) participant
- Be able to give informed consent and follow all study instructions
- Not be pregnant or nursing
- No major recent health problems that could affect safety or results (such as recent major surgery or organ transplant)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how different types of food (carbohydrates, fat, protein) affect blood fat levels after meals. It is for people who are healthy, have metabolic syndrome, lipodystrophy, or nephrotic syndrome, and want to understand how their body processes fats.
This is a research study testing whether specific gene changes are linked to fatty liver and a cholesterol pattern that raises heart risk. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to develop these conditions and why, which could guide future prevention.
This study looks at how a gene called GPR146 affects how your body handles cholesterol. You will eat a test meal and have blood drawn to see how your body processes fats and sugars.
This study looks at how your body processes fatty acids after meals in people with lipoprotein lipase deficiency (a rare genetic condition). It also compares results to people without the condition, which may help researchers understand metabolism and guide future care.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
