I'm not sure which SNP or position for the APOC3 gene you are referring to.

Actually, check APOE first as it has pronounced effects. It's usually considered to be an Alzheimer's risk factor, but besides that it affects your cholesterol levels and specifically how they react to the saturated fat in your diet. See e.g. this paper or a high-level overview.

APOC3 is this.

I'm E3/E3 for APOE which I guess means I have less to worry about.
