Variants in GLP1R (the GLP-1 receptor itself), GIPR (GIP receptor particularly rs1800437, the headline variant for differential GLP-1 response), FTO (appetite regulation), MC4R (satiety signaling), and TCF7L2 (insulin response) are associated with measurably different response patterns to semaglutide and tirzepatide
