Retatrutide

Use as directed

You can expect average weight loss on this drug. Your genes also give the lowest chance of stomach side effects.

The genes behind this label

The guidelines read 2 genes for retatrutide. Each card shows the two copies this person inherited and what they mean.

GLP1RYour two copies: rs10305420C/rs10305420C

CCTypical response

The receptor that semaglutide and other GLP-1 drugs act on.

This result doesn't change the label.

GIPRYour two copies: rs1800437G/rs1800437G

Normal function

Both copies work normally.

A gut-hormone receptor that tirzepatide and retatrutide act on.

This result doesn't change the label.

In plain words
You can expect average weight loss on this drug. Your genes also give the lowest chance of stomach side effects.
What it means
GLP1R: the more common Pro7/Pro7 form of the signal peptide (rs10305420 C/C). GIPR: full-function Glu354/Glu354 (rs1800437 G/G). This is the lowest-risk genotype pair for GI side effects. Expected weight-loss efficacy from the GLP1R arm of retatrutide. GIPR is full-function, so it adds no extra GI risk on retatrutide.
What the research suggests
Standard dosing and titration are expected to produce an average response.

Gene2Rx guideline extrapolated from the tirzepatide results in Su et al., Nature (2026). Retatrutide, an investigational GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, has no genetic study of its own, so this assumes the GLP1R and GIPR variants act as they do with tirzepatide, which also acts on both receptors.

Gene2Rx reads your GLP1R and GIPR results together for retatrutide, so this label reflects both genes.

About retatrutide

Retatrutide is an investigational weight-loss medicine from Eli Lilly that acts on three hormone receptors: GLP-1, GIP and glucagon.
